COPPERHILL UTILITIES – IMPORTANT WATER UPDATE
The results from the latest water samples did not meet the required standards. As a result, the Boil Water Advisory remains in effect.
PLEASE DO NOT CONSUME THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST.
Until further notice, all Copperhill Utilities customers should:
Bring water to a rolling boil for at least 1 full minute before using it for:
Drinking
Cooking or food preparation
Making ice
Brushing teeth
Making baby formula
Washing fruits and vegetables
Preparing beverages such as coffee or tea
DO NOT use ice made from the tap water while the advisory is in effect. Discard any ice that was made after the water system became compromised.
For bathing and showering: The water may generally be used for bathing, but avoid getting water in your mouth or eyes. Young children should be supervised carefully to prevent them from swallowing the water.
For washing dishes: If possible, use bottled water or water that has been brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute. If using a dishwasher, use the hottest setting and allow dishes to completely air dry.
Handwashing: Use boiled and cooled water or bottled water when preparing food or eating. If bottled or boiled water is not available, use hand sanitizer after washing.
DO NOT assume that because the water looks clear or smells normal that it is safe to drink. Contamination cannot necessarily be seen, smelled, or tasted.
We know this is difficult, especially after everything our community has experienced. Our crew is continuing to address the issues within the system. Additional follow-up testing will be necessary before we can determine that the water is safe and lift the Boil Water Advisory.
Please take this advisory seriously and continue boiling your water until the City officially announces that the advisory has been lifted.
