The Black Mountain Irrigation District has issued a boil water notice for all users on the water system.
The district says that the notice was issued because of a malfunction of a valve regulating the flow of treated water into the distribution system from Mission Creek.
The failure is preventing the valve from opening sufficiently to meet the increased demand from warm temperatures and increasing seasonal demand.
To maintain water supply to the district it is necessary to bypass the water treatment plant and use untreated water directly from Mission Creek, the district says.
