Recommendations

Before the water outage:

  • We recommend filling containers with water to cover your essential needs during the outage, such as drinking, cooking, and washing.
  • Consider filling your bathtub or keeping buckets of water to manually refill your toilet tank, allowing you to continue using it during the outage.

During the water outage:

  • Do not use water-requiring appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines until service is restored.
  • Shut off water supplies to your refrigerator’s water dispenser and ice maker, if applicable.
  • Close your taps to prevent water from flowing or spurting when the water service is restored.

During the boil water advisory:

  • Boil water for at least one minute before using it for drinking, cooking, washing fruits and vegetables, preparing baby formula, etc.
  • You may choose to use bottled water for drinking and food preparation.
  • Unboiled water can be used for tasks not related to direct consumption, such as showering (avoid swallowing water).
