Water samples have been collected and submitted to the laboratory for testing. We expect to receive the results tomorrow . Once the results have been reviewed, we will consult with the Maine Drinking Water Program. As soon as we receive authorization, we will provide another update regarding the status of the boil water notice.
Until the notice is lifted, please continue to boil all water used for:
Drinking
Cooking and food preparation
Making ice
Brushing teeth
Washing fruits and vegetables
Preparing infant formula
Bring water to a rolling boil for at least one (1) minute, then allow it to cool before use. Bottled water may also be used for these purposes.
Brown or Discolored Water:
Some members may continue to notice brown or discolored water following the water main repair. This is caused by naturally occurring minerals being stirred up in the water mains and is temporary. Running your cold water for several minutes will usually clear the discoloration. We also recommend waiting until the water runs clear before doing laundry.
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding. We expect to have another update tomorrow after we receive the laboratory results and speak with the Maine Drinking Water Program.
