UPDATE: Jan 24, 17:00
The Precautionary Boil Water Advisory has been rescinded. Testing has determined that water is safe to drink and use as normal. Thank you for your patience.
Yesterday evening, a watermain break occurred in the Sun Rivers water system. Crews were able to locate and repair the break quickly, and water service has been fully restored.
Regrettably, some areas will be under a Precautionary Boil Water Advisory due to the localized depressurization of the water system. This is done when contaminants could enter the water system, but boiling will effectively remove them. Areas affected are:
- Visao Terrace
- Visao Court
- Belmonte Subdivision
This Advisory will be in place until testing determines that water remains safe to drink.
We apologize for this inconvenience and greatly appreciate your patience.
Precautions During a Boil Water Advisory
During a Boil Water Advisory, tap water used for the following purposes should be brought to a rolling boil for at least one (1) minute prior to use.
- Drinking and ice cubes
- Liquids or food (e.g. tea or soup) that will not be boiled for at least one (1) minute
- Washing fruits and vegetables being eaten raw
- Brushing teeth or cleaning dental and medical appliances
- Preparing baby food and infant formula
- Bathing infants
Adults, adolescents, and older children may shower, bathe, or wash using tap water, but should avoid swallowing water. It’s recommended to sponge bathe infants if using tap water. Tap water may be used for dishes washed by machine but add bleach to water used for dishes washed by hand. Water used for other household purposes does not need to be boiled.
This Advisory will be rescinded once the water has been demonstrated safe to drink. Please check this News & Notices page for updates. Should you have questions, please contact Corix Customer Care.
