What We Know: People in Everton are being asked to boil their water after a problem developed with the city’s well.
What It Means: The boil water advisory went into effect Sunday night and will remain in place until water testing confirms the system is safe.
City officials recommend bringing water to a rolling boil for at least three minutes before drinking it or using it to brush teeth, prepare food, or cook.
The advisory is a precaution while the water system is tested following the well issue.
What’s Next: Officials say the advisory will be lifted once test results show the water is safe for normal use. Until then, residents are encouraged to continue boiling water before using it for consumption.
