Boil order effective immediately for 9th Street in Huntingburg (Lifted)

The boil order for 9th Street between Jackson and Cour de Lane has been lifted.

Today, April 19, 2016, the City of Huntingburg’s Water Department pulled out an abandoned waterline, which has resulted in a boil order to be effective immediately on 9th Street between Jackson Street and Courde Lane.

Customers will be notified once the boil order has been lifted.

During a boil order, the following precautions should be taken:

· Boil water vigorously for 3 minutes prior to use.
· Do not use ice from household ice maker.
· Disinfect dishes and other food contact surfaces by immersion for at least 1 minute in clean tap water that contains 1 teaspoonful of unscented household bleach per gallon of water.
· Let water cool before drinking.

Possible discolored water during the course of the boil order may likely be anticipated. Customers are advised to use caution when doing laundry during this time, although water used for hand washing or bathing does not generally require boiling. It is recommended to flush cold water lines before beginning laundry.
