BOIL WATER ADVISORY

LCWA Northeast Creek Water System
|
BOIL YOUR TAP WATER
Failure to follow this advisory could result in stomach or intestinal illness.
|
The Louisa County Water Authority advises all customers between St. Judes Roman Catholic Church at 1937 Davis Hwy. and the Town of Mineral, including Poplar Rd. and Onionville Rd. to boil their drinking water.
The boil water advisory is in effect until further notice.
A main break causing pressure to fall below 20 psi at some connections has occurred and this advisory is issued out of an abundance of caution.
|
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.

AVISO DE HERVIR AGUAAviso a los clientes del Sistema de Agua Northeast Creek de LCWA
HIERVE AGUA DEL GRIFONo seguir este aviso podría resultar en enfermedades estomacales o intestinales.
30/07/2025
La Autoridad del Agua del Condado de Louisa aconseja a todos los clientes entre la Iglesia Católica Romana de San Judes en 1937 Davis Hwy. y la ciudad de Mineral, incluyendo Poplar Rd. y Onionville Rd., que hierban su agua potable.
La advertencia de hervir el agua está en efecto hasta nuevo aviso.
Se ha producido una ruptura en la tubería principal que ha causado que la presión caiga por debajo de 20 psi en algunas conexiones y esta advertencia se emite por precaución.
NO BEBA NI COOK CON AGUA DEL GRIFO SIN HERVIRLA PRIMERO. El agua hervida o embotellada debe usarse para beber, preparar bebidas y alimentos, y hacer hielo hasta nuevo aviso. Hervir mata bacterias y otros organismos en el agua. Hervir es el método preferido para asegurar que el agua del grifo sea segura para beber.
Para hervir su agua - Lleve toda el agua del grifo a ebullición, déjela hervir durante un minuto y deje enfriar antes de usarla, o utilice agua embotellada.
Si no puedes hervir el agua del grifo, un método alternativo de purificación para los residentes que no tienen gas ni electricidad disponible es usar cloro líquido doméstico para desinfectar el agua. El producto de blanqueo debe haber sido comprado recientemente, estar libre de aditivos y fragancias, y debe contener una solución de hipoclorito de al menos 5.25%. Los funcionarios de salud pública recomiendan agregar 8 gotas de cloro (aproximadamente ¼ de cucharadita) a cada galón de agua. El agua debe ser removida y dejada reposar durante al menos 30 minutos antes de su uso. También se pueden utilizar tabletas de purificación de agua siguiendo las instrucciones del fabricante.
Una vez que se haya levantado la recomendación de hervir agua, se notificará a los residentes a través de los mismos métodos de comunicación utilizados para informar sobre la recomendación.
Para más información, por favor contáctenos: 540-967-1122
