**BOIL ADVISORY TIMELINE**
The following is the procedure followed when issuing a Boil Advisory:
-
Public Notice is issued to community informing them to boil their water.
-
Once an acceptable chlorine residual is met, special follow-up* total coliform bacteriological samples must be scheduled.
-
Samples are collected and analyzed by a certified laboratory.
*Follow-up sampling is a minimum of two consecutive days – Each sample takes a total of 48 hours to complete.
-
After two consecutive days of negative sample are obtained, the Boil Advisory can be lifted.
-
At that time, a Problem Corrected Notice is issued (either by an automated phone call or a hand-delivered notice) to the community.
-
The estimated length of time a Boil Advisory remains in effect is a “minimum” of one week.
