The advisory was issued out of an abundance of caution. Cline said there may have been an intrusion in the water supply due to the heavy rainfall.
Anyone in this area should use commercially bottled water or boil their tap water before consuming.
“Bring water to a full rolling boil for 1 minute. To avoid burns, allow boiled water to cool before using. Please boil your water even if you filter it in your home,” the post said.
