Default Poor notification of this water boil alert.

I also was looking for that headline.

I don't see anything on the district website, of course that could also be a small article buried somewhere.

I think this is an extremely poor way of communicating a potential health issue.

I would venture a guess that the majority of residents in the mentioned villages know nothing of this boil water alert and had their evening cocktails over ice, washed dishes, brushed their teeth, etc. without giving it a thought as they had no knowledge of this alert.

We rarely watch channel 2. Where else would a resident get this info? A reverse 911 call would certainly be in order. Someone mentioned they called the water department and were told they never heard of reverse 911. How about if there were a major water issue, like someone poisoned it? Maybe every community watch employee should be called into work and go door to door.

Thanks to TOTV for getting the word out.
