WEST FARMINGTON, Ohio – A boil advisory has been issued for a West Farmington community.

The Plalan Lake Water Association tells 21 News that the EPA ordered them to issue the precautionary advisory on Friday due to a water line break.

The advisory is in effect until further notice.

The U.S. EPA requires that all water suppliers issue an alert within 24 hours whenever water lines lose pressure.

EPA boil advisory procedure:

  • Do not drink the water without boiling it first.

Bring all water to a rolling boil for at least (3) three minutes, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.

All stored water, drink or ice made recently from this supply shall be discarded.

  • Inadequately treated water may contain disease-causing organisms.

These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites which can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches, or other symptoms. They may pose a special health risk for infants, young children, some of the elderly and people with severely compromised immune systems.

  • The symptoms above are not caused only by organisms in drinking water.

If you experience any of these symptoms and they persist, you may want to seek medical advice. People at increased risk should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.

Antiquated water well leads to boil advisory

PFOA filters activated in Petersburgh but bacteria issues remain

by Brendan J. Lyons, January 27, 2o17

 

A carbon filter system designed to remove toxic chemicals from the Petersburgh water system was activated this week. But residents should boil their drinking water because the town’s well does not comply with health regulations.

The water plant in the heart of Petersburgh serves 72 households. The underground well along Route 22 is about a mile from the Taconic plastics plant that has been a focus of state investigations into the contamination of groundwater with perfluorooctanoic acid.

Ben Krahforst, the town’s water district supervisor, said two filters installed on the public water system by Taconic are removing all traces of PFOA. But Krahforst said the antiquated well needs several repairs to bring it in compliance and alleviate concerns about potential bacterial contamination.

The repairs, including work needed on the water tower, will cost more than $25,000. A town official said their requests to get aid from the state have not been answered.

The primary well used for the public water system has a PFOA level of about 130 parts per trillion, which is above the 70 ppt advisory set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

“As long as the water is boiled there’s no problem,” Krahforst said.
