💧 What Is a Boil Water Notice?
An official public health warning that tap water may be unsafe to drink without first boiling. Typically triggered by a main break, pressure loss, flooding, power outage, or detection of bacteria during testing. Can affect a single street or an entire city.
✅ What To Do During an Advisory
- Boil tap water to a rolling boil for 1 minute (3 min above 6,500 ft). Cool before use.
- Use boiled or bottled water for drinking, brushing teeth, ice, and cooking.
- Do not use pitcher or fridge filters — they don’t remove bacteria.
- Click any headline in the table for your utility’s latest update.
⏱️ How Long Do They Last?
Most are lifted within 24–72 hours once repairs are done and two water samples pass bacteriological testing. Major events can take longer. Never assume an advisory has ended — always confirm with your local water utility directly.
