Customers under a precautionary boil water advisory can resume normal water usage when the notice is lifted without taking any additional measures. If you experience cloudy or discolored water, you should run your faucets for a few minutes until the water runs clear.

Is it okay to bathe or shower during a boil water notice? Yes, but be careful not to swallow any water while bathing or showering. Extra caution should be taken with babies and young children—consider giving them sponge baths to reduce the risk of them swallowing water.

After the boil water alert has been lifted, flush all fixtures (e.g., faucets, drinking fountains) and equipment, then restart them. Continue flushing faucets and fixtures until you detect chlorine. Flush for more than 5 minutes until you detect residual disinfectant.
