===========
The Odebolt Water Supply is Recommending to boil the water before using for drinking or to use an alternative source.
The Odebolt Water Supply replaced the service to the school on December 30, 2013. Due to the potential for bacterial contamination, it is being recommended that the water be boiled before using for drinking or cooking or that an alternative source be used.
IT IS RECOMMENDED NOT TO DRINK THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST. Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth and food preparation until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water. The water may be used for bathing and other similar purposes.
For more information, please contact City Hall at 712-668-2231 or 712-668-2669. General guidelines on ways to lessen the risk of infection by microbes are available from the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1(800)426-4791.
The system is being replaced, will be re-pressurized, and will be collecting bacteria samples. This advisory is a precaution until bacterial sample results are available. You will be notified when results are available and the advisory is lifted.
The system is working with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to resolve the situation.
This notice is being sent to you by the Odebolt Water Supply
