| Water Quality Emergencies |
| In the event of a disaster or other
emergency that may constitute a threat to the quality of the
water supply, specific public emergency notices will be issued.
These notices will be aired in a timely fashion in both the
electronic and print media. Personal contact through the use
of "door hanger" notifications may also be used if
the water quality threat is limited to a specific area of the
City. There are two basic types of official notices: (1) a Boil
Water Order, and (2) an Unsafe Water Alert. A Boil Water Order
would be issued in the event of the discovery of microbiological
contamination or in the event of a treatment failure. An Unsafe
Water Alert would be issued in the event of some other form
of contamination such as a chemical spill into a reservoir.
Should such an alert be issued, all consumers should adhere
to the guidelines provided in the notices concerning the use
and drinking of the water supply. |
