INFORMATION ON WATER MAIN BREAKS & BOIL WATER ORDERS

When a water main breaks, the following procedures are taken:

A julie is called in and all utility lines are marked. Utility companies have 2 hours to locate their lines.

SHWD staff are notified the answering machine and website are updated with information.

If a customer has a current phone number with the district, an automated phone call is completed.

Boil water order signs are placed in the area of the boil water order.  

A water sample is taken to the lab once the line is repaired for tests to be conducted to confirm the water is safe for consumption.  Once the lab calls and informs the district the samples have been cleared for consumption, the district can lift the boil water order.  Immediately, the signs are removed, webiste and answering machine is updated.
