Kadie Hearn, spokesperson for Culkin Water District stated this precautionary action was necessary because the system lost pressure due to a break in the water line.

When a water distribution system loses pressure, contaminants can siphon back into the system. Public health officials consider any system that has lost pressure contaminated until tests of the water prove otherwise.

As soon as pressure is restored to those customers affected, water system officials will begin collecting samples for testing and recommend that consumers vigorously boil their water for 2 minutes before it is consumed or use an alternate source for drinking and cooking.
