UPDATE: The boil advisory for Jeff Davis Water District #4 has been lifted.
____________________________________
POSTED FEB. 17, 2020
A boil order has been issued for Jeff Davis Water District #4 in the Hathaway area.
The entire system is under the order until further notice.
When under a boil order, it is recommended that all consumers disinfect their water before consuming it (including fountain drinks), making ice, brushing teeth, or using it for food preparation or rinsing of foods.
To disinfect your water, boil it for one (1) full minute in a clean container. The one minute starts after the water has been brought to a rolling boil. (The flat taste can be eliminated by shaking the water in a clean bottle, pouring it from one clean container to another, or by adding a small pinch of salt to each quart of water that is boiled.)
Again, please be sure to disinfect your own water prior to consumption until you have been advised otherwise.
