DRINKING WATER -
BOIL WATER ADVISORY
City of Rice’s water may be contaminated due to loss of pressure.
What should you do?
Do not drink water before boiling it or use a safe alternative source.
Bring all water to a full, rolling boil, let it boil for one minute or longer, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, and food preparation until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in water.
A safe alternative source includes bottled water.
After the system has restored pressure and lifted the advisory, its recommended consumers flush their building plumbing systems.
