DWA notice DWA Lifted Notice Steps of a Water Main Repair
If you get a Drinking Water Advisory (DWA) notice delivered to your home, this means that you should boil your water to be sure it is safe to drink. Soil and other contaminants can enter your water for different reasons. The most common is when there is a water main break or when the City's water works crews are doing repairs, maintenance and replacement of the City's underground water pipes.
The risk that you will get sick is very low, but to be safe regulations require that a Drinking Water Advisory notice be delivered to all affected residents, businesses and public buildings.
A Drinking Water Advisory lets you know that work is being done on your water supply system. It includes instructions on boiling your water for drinking and any other activities where water may be swallowed. Once the work is done the City will send water samples to the lab for testing. When the test samples show the water is safe, City staff will hand deliver a Drinking Water Advisory Lifted Notice your home to let you know the water is safe to drink and you can stop boiling your water.
