Reasons for the Boil Water Advisory

The boil water advisory for Robinson, Brown County, was issued due to a significant water main break on Maple Street near Elm Avenue. This break resulted in a temporary loss of water pressure, increasing the risk of water contamination. While the main has been repaired, there is a possibility of harmful bacteria entering the water system. This poses a risk to public health, potentially leading to gastrointestinal illnesses if contaminated water is consumed. Our water quality testing is underway to determine the extent of contamination and ensure the safety of the water supply.

How to Safely Boil Water

To ensure your safety, boil all water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing your teeth, and preparing food until further notice. Here's how:

  • Bring water to a rolling boil for one full minute.
  • Allow the boiled water to cool completely before consumption. You can speed up cooling by placing the container in an ice bath.
  • Store cooled boiled water in a clean, covered container in the refrigerator.

If boiling water is inconvenient, you can use bottled water for all these purposes. Avoid using tap water for drinking or food preparation until the advisory is lifted.

Precautionary Measures

Until the boil water advisory is lifted, it is crucial to take the following precautions:

  • Do not drink tap water. Use only boiled or bottled water.
  • Use boiled or bottled water for all food preparation. This includes washing fruits and vegetables.
  • Use boiled or bottled water for brushing your teeth.
  • Avoid using tap water for making ice.
  • Limit bathing with tap water to essential purposes only. This helps to minimize exposure to potentially contaminated water.

Following these precautions will significantly reduce the risk of waterborne illness.
