Advisory: Boil Drinking Water
Posted 4/22/2009
The State Department of Public Health is advising residents of Bloomfield, Hartford, West Hartford, and seven other towns to boil their drinking water for one minute before consuming it. The 10 towns all receive public drinking water through the Metropolitan District Commission (MDC).
This is a precautionary measure while officials work to determine the cause of microscopic organisms found in the drinking water distribution system coming through the MDC's No. 6 Water Treatment Facility in Bloomfield. Until further notice, consume only bottled water or water that has been boiled for at least one minute.
See the latest update -- advisory for Bloomfield/Hartford/West Hartford continues through the weekend.
