Understanding the Boil Water Advisory

A boil water advisory is issued when there's a potential risk of harmful bacteria or contaminants in your drinking water. Consuming untreated water during such an advisory can lead to serious health issues, including gastrointestinal illnesses like diarrhea, vomiting, and nausea. This Ogeechee Road Boil Water Advisory specifically affects residents along Ogeechee Road and potentially adjacent streets and neighborhoods. The precise boundaries are outlined on [insert link to official map/notification].

The advisory has been implemented due to:

• A potential water main break, leading to a loss of pressure and increased risk of contamination.
• Detected levels of bacteria or other harmful substances in the water supply.
• Precautionary measures taken during scheduled maintenance of the water system.

How to Properly Boil Water

Boiling water effectively eliminates most harmful bacteria and contaminants. To ensure your safety, follow these steps:

1. Bring water to a rolling boil. A rolling boil is characterized by continuous bubbling.
2. Let the water boil vigorously for one full minute. This ensures the complete inactivation of harmful microorganisms.
3. Allow the boiled water to cool completely before drinking or using it for food preparation.
4. Store cooled boiled water in a clean, covered container in the refrigerator.

If boiling water isn't feasible, consider using bottled water for drinking, cooking, and brushing your teeth.
