A boil water advisory as Mount Shasta readies for busy summer.
A water-boiling advisory has forced several Mount Shasta restaurants to close their doors or go with limited menus right around the time they are preparing for a busy Fourth of July weekend.
Black Bear Diner closed on Sunday but is set to reopen today at 1:30 p.m. Employees are using only bottled drinking water to wash and cook food.
Bistro No.
The city of Mount Shasta issued the advisory after finding E. coli in its water supply.
Timing is key, with the uptick in summer tourism.
"But this morning I got confirmation from city workers that everything should be OK in the next few days and back to normal."
Besides, Maxwell said, there will be plenty of bottled drinking water at the festival.
Residents can also use bottled water.
Boiled or bottled water should replace the tap water used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and food preparation until further notice.
