[Northwoods]

A precautionary boil water notice has been issued for all residents and businesses in the villages with the CSU utility in district 9, district 10, and brownwood due to a water plant equipment failure. this boil water notice will remain in effect until the problem has been corrected and a survey shows that the water is safe to drink. if you have any questions, you may contact customer service at 352 750 0000.

The radio station clearly said You did not have to boil water.

I have been following this water situation and it is confusing. On one site I read the water continues to be drinkable and then another boil water alert.

At 7PM they (WLVG) said the was a boil water notice, I also got an email and text stating there is a boil water notice in effect.

I had the village radio station on earlier and they clearly said no boil water in effect They might have changed it, The announcer even explained why.

This is word-for-word of an email I received from Sumter County. I received this message as a text and as an email. I was asked to confirm I received the information. So... my guess is that at first they didn't think there was any reason to implement a boil notice. It appears something made them change their mind.

I received email from districtgov.org with same info as Northwoods provides above. It states the notice is for Districts 9&10& Brownwood. ( NOT "everything South of 466A) I tried calling the number given but got only a request to "leave a message". Time the message was sent was 5:36 pm.

If you have a whole house water filter, is it safe to use the water?

[Velvet]

Good question, I wondered if reverse osmosis filter or the one in the fridge would allow you to drink.

Be safe: Boil the water until the experts say you can stop!

There has been rather poor communication about this issue. The only way I knew was that a neighbor sent out an email about the water problem. Looking for a possible update this morning, I turned on WVLG at 6:00 when they begin daily programming. I got a lot of chat about sports and this day in history, but after wasting half an hour, there was no mention about the boil water order. Next, I tried the number given in an earlier post and found that the offices are closed all weekend but I could be sent to Community Watch. There, I got a very nice woman who didn't even know which districts were involved. She said a sign would be posted at the end of our street and a flier would be on our door when the order was lifted. This was the same way we were notified. What???? Makes one wonder how serious this whole issue is.
