Boil Water Advisory

Effective Immediately

The Town of Hope Water Utility Department has issued a Boil Water Advisory for all customers due to a loss of water pressure and/or a disruption in the water distribution system. As a precautionary measure, residents are advised to boil all water used for drinking and cooking until further notice.

What You Should Do

Until this advisory is lifted:

Bring all water to a rolling boil for at least five (5) minutes before using it for:

Drinking

Preparing food or beverages

Making ice

Brushing teeth

Washing fruits and vegetables

Preparing infant formula

Giving water to pets

You may use tap water for bathing, showering, laundry, and washing dishes; however, use caution to avoid swallowing water during these activities.

Why This Advisory Has Been Issued

When water pressure drops below acceptable levels, there is an increased risk that harmful bacteria or other microorganisms could enter the water distribution system. Although there is no confirmation that the water is contaminated, this advisory is being issued as a precaution to protect public health.

When Will the Advisory Be Lifted?

The advisory will remain in effect until Saturday, July 18th 2:00 a.m., so the system can be properly disinfected, and laboratory testing confirms the water is safe for consumption.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and cooperation.
