Anatomy of a boil order
It’s rare, but it happens to every system. A pipe fails. A spill occurs. A well breaks down. Something occurs that leads to potential water contamination and a need for a boil order. How long do you have to put a particular notice out? Some require as little as 24 hours, others as long as 30 days. What information is needed in each order to comply with EPA regulations? What is the best way to distribute your boil order? In this edition of eBulletin, we’ll outline what you need to include in your notifications and when they need to go to customers. We’ll also provide links to some examples online and a checklist to help you the next time a boil order is needed for your community.
