A BOIL WATER ALERT has been isssued for users of the Watseco Barview Water District.
Fecal coliform [or E. coli] bacteria were found in the water supply today. (Thursday, August 11). These bacteria can make you sick, and are a particular concern for people with weakened immune systems. Again, users of water from the Watseco Barview Water District are warned not to drink the water without boiling it first.
The water district will be draining the reservoir and flushing and disinfecting the system. Users will be informed when tests show no bacteria, and the boil water order will be lifted. The district anticipates resolving the problem within 72 hours.
For more information, please contact Larry Clifton at (503) 812-0574
