"To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking, and ice making should be boiled and cooled prior to use for drinking water or human consumption purposes," Inframark said in a press release. "The water should be brought to a vigorous rolling boil and then boiled for two minutes."
According to Inframark, when it is no longer necessary to boil the water, the public water system officials will notify customers that the water is safe for drinking water or human consumption purposes.
