This advisory has been issued as a precaution to protect public health. Representatives with Toledo Water Distribution say they do not have evidence at this time that the water system is contaminated. However, because of a repair or disruption, there is the possibility of contamination.
The only way to be certain that water quality has been maintained is by testing the water, which is currently underway.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
- Run cold water taps to flush lines, then boil water for drinking and cooking.
- Flush all taps used for drinking and cooking by running cold faucets for at least 3 minutes.
- Boil the water for 3 minutes and cool before using (or use bottled water).
- Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making formula, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and preparing food until this advisory expires on Monday.
You may resume normal tap water use Monday at 5 p.m. unless notified that the advisory is extended.
If your water appears discolored, avoid washing clothes or using the hot water taps until you have run the cold water faucets and the water clears.
