BOIL WATER ADVISORY LIFTED FOR NORTHEAST CREEK CUSTOMERS 5/16/25
May 16, 2025
Boil Water Advisory Lifted for Louisa County Water Authority in Louisa County
Issued May 16, 2025
The Virginia Department of Health and Blue Ridge Health District in conjunction with the Louisa County Water Authority Waterworks are advising residents in the area served by the Louisa County Water Authority Northeast Creek Service Area in Louisa County VA., that it is no longer necessary to boil water before using it.
Customers were notified on May 14, 2025 to boil the water before using it out of an abundance of caution due to the loss of pressure in the water distribution system due to a water main break on Route 33.
Bacteriological samples collected on May 14, 2025 and May 15, 2025 were absent of total coliform bacteria and E. coli indicating the loss of pressure did not result in the introduction of these bacteria into the water system.
For more information contact Pam Baughman at 540-967-1122.
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly. You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.

BOIL WATER ADVISORY IN AFFECT (NORTHEAST CREEK CUSTOMERS ONLY)
May 14, 2025
BOIL WATER ADVISORY
Notice to Customers of the Northeast Creek Water System
(DOES NOT INCLUDE: ZION CROSSROADS, SPRING CREEK OR NEW BRIDGE-LAKE ANNA CUSTOMERS)
BOIL YOUR TAP WATER Failure to follow this advisory could result in stomach or intestinal illness.
5/14/25
Louisa County Water Authority advises all customers to boil their drinking water. The boil water advisory is in effect until further notice. A significant main break has occurred on Jefferson Hwy. At this time the Northeast Creek system is the only system impacted by this service disruption. Crews are on-site working to make repairs and restore service. After service is restored, two sets of bacteriological samples will need to be analyzed and found free of bacteria before this advisory can be lifted.
DO NOT DRINK OR COOK WITH TAP WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, beverage, and food preparation, and making ice until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water. Boiling is the preferred method to assure that the tap water is safe to drink. To boil your water - Bring all tap water to a rolling boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water.
If you cannot boil your tap water an alternative method of purification for residents that do not have gas or electricity available is to use liquid household bleach to disinfect water. The bleach product should be recently purchased, free of additives and scents, and should contain a hypochlorite solution of at least 5.25%. Public health officials recommend adding 8 drops of bleach (about ¼ teaspoon) to each gallon of water. The water should be stirred and allowed to stand for at least 30 minutes before use. Water purification tablets may also be used by following the manufacturer’s instructions.
Once the Boil Water Advisory has been lifted, residents will be notified through the same methods of communication used to notify of the advisory.
For more information, please contact: Louisa County Water Authority 540-967-7858 For Frequently Asked Questions about boiling your tap water visit: Virginia Department of Health – Office of Drinking Water FAQ website.
