Boil Water Advisory Closes Restaurants

Update by Public Health Department January 10, 2018 The Public Health Department Environmental Health Services division (EHS) has issued a closure order for restaurants, markets, and other food facilities that are affected by the Boil Water Notice.
Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one (1) minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water.
Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking and food preparation until further notice.
An alternative method of disinfection for residents that are not able to boil their water is to use fresh, unscented, liquid household bleach.
Due to the recent Flash Flood events, the State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water in conjunction with the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department, and the Montecito Water District are advising residents of Montecito and Summerland to use boiled tap water or bottled water for drinking and cooking purposes as a safety precaution.
For more information call: State Water Resources Control Board – Drinking Water Field Operations Branch – District Office at (805) 566-1326.

El agua en Carpinteria y Santa Barbara y todos las otras comunidades fuera del Distrito de Agua de Montecito es segura y está dentro de las pautas y estándares estatales y federales.
