Boil Water Notice ~ General Information.
It is especially important that you follow the routine noted below. Thank you.
Boil water by bringing to a vigorous, rolling boil, (for example, automatic kettle), and allow to cool. Cover and store in a refrigerator or cold place. Water from the hot tap is not safe to drink. Domestic water filters will not render water safe to drink.
Great care should be taken with boiled water to avoid burns and scalds. Accidents can easily happen, especially with children and with persons who have reduced mobility.
