Water System Advisories
When BCWS issues a Water System Maintenance Notice (WSMN), we will list the affected areas below and on our water system maintenance hotline. In most cases, we will also notify customers with door tags; please check your front door for this information. If the area is too large to notify with door tags, local news media will broadcast the advisory. We will notify schools, health care institutions and critical water users directly.
When a Water System Maintenance Notice is issued, you may ensure the safety of your drinking water by boiling it vigorously for a least one minute prior to consumption.
There are three types of notices that may be issued. For more information please click on the links below.
- Water System Maintenance Notice
- Boil Order (Boil water before consuming.)
- Emergency Alert (Do not drink or use the water. Issued only when there is a known or suspected threat.)
