Overview
- The Sewerage & Water Board has issued a precautionary boil-water advisory covering the entire Westbank after detecting abnormally low pressure in parts of the system.
- The problem began in Venetian Isles where pressure fell below 20 psi, a level utilities say can allow outside contamination to enter the water distribution network.
- Crews are actively searching for the source of the pressure loss and have not yet identified a leak, and officials warned pressure may continue to fluctuate until repairs are complete.
- Residents in affected areas should use bottled water or boil tap water for one full minute before drinking, cooking, cleaning food, or brushing teeth.
- Officials will start water-quality testing once the cause is found and repairs are made and will notify the public when results allow the advisory to be lifted.
