Lakehead-area residents live on bottled or boiled water.
Residents living in the Sugarloaf County Service Area were told March 17 that they should boil their tap water before drinking it.
That warning is likely to remain in effect for at least two or three more months as Shasta County officials seek funds to repair a well that provides water for the 150 residents in the service area near Lakehead, county Public Works Director Pat Minturn said.
Minturn said the county has applied for a grant from the state to pay for repairing the well that supplies the district with water.
Surface water is getting into the well, tainting it with e. coli bacteria.
A treatment plant kills the bacteria in the water, but the state Regional Water Quality Control Board said the process is unreliable and wants the well repaired, Minturn said.
In the meantime, the state Division of Drinking Water has approved another $25,000 to provide bottled water to low-income residents in the district.
Minturn said the water system was built in the 1970s by a private developer, and the county took eventually took over operating it.
In comparison, in 2016 the Jones Valley County Service Area leaked 14.9 million gallons, or about 26 percent of the total 56.6 million gallons produced, according to the county.
Minturn estimated it would cost about $2.5 million to upgrade the entire Sugarloaf CSA water delivery system.

City of Nelson issues Boil Water Notice, effective immediately.
Effective immediately, staff has issued a Boil Water Notice for City of Nelson residents due to the presence of coliform bacteria.
The notice was issued in a media release Thursday.
“Laboratory tests indicated the presence of one colony-forming unit of fecal coliform bacteria in one of the water samples collected on May 2, 2017,” the release said.
“The other four samples tested negative for coliforms.” The City said it is currently re-sampling due to the suspect of a sampling error.
“Fecal coliform bacteria in drinking water supplies is a serious concern, and we are issuing an advisory as a precaution,” the release said.
“We will be flushing and re-sampling our water distribution system to ensure the drinking water is safe.” Fecal coliforms can indicate the presence of organisms such as bacteria, viruses and parasites that can cause diarrhea, cramps, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms.
Residents are advised to boil water for at least one minute and let cool before using, or use bottled water.
The City advises residents to use boiled or bottled water for drinking, making ice cubes, brushing teeth and food preparation until further notice.

Boil water advisory in effect in Whitehall.
The village of Whitehall issued a boil water advisory slated to begin on May 1 at midnight, but complications with the scheduled work caused the advisory to be rescinded 12 hours after it was issued.
“That’s cutting out a section and replacing it…it could be eight inches, 10 inches it all, depends…it could go up to two feet,” Brock said of the section of pipe to be replaced.
The advisory was rescinded because the DPW crew was having difficulties tracing the leak to its source.
“The problem was not finding the leak – it’s not surfacing,” Brock said.
“It’s following the storm sewer.” As a result, Brock called Rural Water, a Claverack based non-profit organization that assists small communities with their water and wastewater operations.
Brock said the organization has more advanced equipment which will be able to better identify the source of the leak.
Rural Water sent personnel to Whitehall on Monday and they were able to identify the location of the leak and the DPW will commence work on Wednesday, which should only take a few hours.
“It’s a lot faster now than it was 20 years ago.” The boil-water advisory will go into effect again on Wednesday at midnight and remain in effect for three days because the water must undergo three consecutive days of testing to ensure it meets code.
