A boil water notice affecting Pulaski residents, initially issued earlier this week, has been extended to Saturday, October 28th. This crucial update means residents in affected areas must continue to boil their water before consumption until further notice. This article provides all the essential information you need to stay safe during this extended boil water advisory.

Extended Boil Water Advisory: What You Need to Know

• The boil water advisory has been extended to Saturday, October 28th.
• This extension is due to ongoing repairs to a major water main and further water quality testing required to ensure the safety of the water supply.
• The advisory affects the following areas in Pulaski: Oak Street, Maple Avenue, Pine Ridge Subdivision, and sections of Elmwood Drive. A map showing the affected areas is available on [Link to map - replace with actual link].
• Residents should continue to boil all water used for drinking, cooking, preparing baby food, brushing teeth, making ice, and washing dishes until further notice. Do not use unboiled water for any purpose that could lead to consumption.

The Pulaski County Water Authority (PCWA) is working diligently to resolve the issue and ensure the water supply is safe for consumption. Regular updates will be provided via the PCWA website, local news channels (WPSD, WKYT, etc.), and social media (Facebook, Twitter). We are committed to providing transparent and timely communication throughout this process.

How to Properly Boil Your Water

• Bring water to a rolling boil for one minute. Make sure the water is vigorously boiling, not just simmering.
• Allow the water to cool completely before using. This ensures the water is safe to drink and prevents burns.
• Store boiled water in a clean, covered container in the refrigerator. This will help keep the water fresh and safe to drink for up to 24 hours.
• Discard any water that has been boiled and not used within 24 hours. Boiling does not indefinitely preserve the water's safety.

Proper boiling is essential to eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses that may be present in the water supply due to the water main break and ensure your safety. These simple steps can prevent waterborne illnesses like diarrhea, vomiting, and other gastrointestinal problems. Follow these instructions carefully to minimize your risk.

Alternative Water Sources & Resources for Pulaski Residents

• Bottled water distribution points are available at the Pulaski County Courthouse from 10 AM to 6 PM daily until the boil water notice is lifted.
