Water for drinking, cooking and ice-making should be boiled and cooled to destroy all harmful bacteria. The water should be brought to a vigorous boil and then boiled for two minutes. If possible, minimize water usage until the issue has been resolved.
Around 5 a.m., portions of the Aqua Water Supply system experienced low pressure because of a water-main break. The low pressure may have allowed harmful microbes into the water system.
Aqua Water will notify customers through telephone messages as soon as they receive results that confirm the water is safe to drink.
