BOIL WATER NOTICE: Precautionary boil water notice in effect for residents on 13448-13482 Hyacinth Court, 13419-13515 Barberry Drive, and 13462 Jonquil Place as a result of a water main break.
Boil water at a rolling boil for one minute to kill infectious organisms.
Ice produced in ice machines after the issuance of a boil water notice must be discarded and machines not restarted until the water supply is deemed safe by local health authority.
Sanitize the interior of the ice machine, ice trays and built-in ice-makers with two teaspoons (100+ ppm) of household bleach in one gallon of water prior to restarting the ice machine or ice-maker.
Do not use tap water for handwashing.
This may be accomplished by using a commercial hand sanitizing lotion that requires no rinse or a chlorine bleach solution of two teaspoons of household bleach in one gallon of water.
Food equipment and utensils and food-contact surfaces that must be cleaned in place (does not fit into a three-compartment sink), may be cleaned with steam with no additives, a sanitizing mix of bottled or boiled water and bleach (50-100 ppm) or other approved sanitizing solution.
Do not use tap water for food processing or food preparation until the BOIL WATER NOTICE is lifted by local authorities.
