To All Patrons:
Test results of the samples have been received from the testing lab. Unfortunately, one of the samples from the central zone (Bonanza area) did not meet the total coliform level requirements. The District has been in close contact with our DEQ Compliance Officer, Jim Williamson, and he has made it clear that, by law, all samples must meet requirements in order to lift the Boil Order.
However, after reviewing the sampling method that was used by the District, he has authorized District personnel to take more samples from just this one area and re-submit for testing. The District has done so, and expects test results within 24 hours.
Until then:
THE DISTRICT IS STILL UNDER A BOIL ORDER.
DO NOT DRINK ANY WATER COMING FROM THE SYSTEM AT THIS TIME UNLESS YOU HAVE BOILED THE WATER FOR AT LEAST ONE MINUTE.
THE WATER, AS SUPPLIED, CAN BE USED FOR ALL NON-POTABLE USES INCLUDING TOILET FLUSHING, LAUNDRY, SHOWERS (DO NOT DRINK!), AND LIVESTOCK.
THE DISTRICT WILL NOTIFY PATRONS WHEN THE WATER PRODUCED BY THE SYSTEM HAS TESTED AS BEING SAFE FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION.
