A boil water order is currently in affect in Greenville until further notice. According to information from city hall, residents should boil their drinking water for three to five minutes to ensure it is safe for consumption.

A public water system may issue a boil water advisory when there is concern that a problem with drinking water may exist, but it has not yet been confirmed. These are most commonly issued for major water main breaks or other low-pressure events where the possibility of contamination intrusion exists.  They may also be issued while waiting for results of confirmation samples collected for bacteriological analysis, which can take up to two days plus the time required to transport samples to the laboratory.

WEST MONROE, La – The Walnut Bayou Water System has issued a boil advisory for Madison Parish and Parts of Tensas Parish.

Water system officials say a radio problem at the Bear Lake Plant Walnut Bayou Water System has caused a problem with the water supply that will disrupt water to a portion of the water system.

For a list of affected areas, call (318) 574-2463.

Because of these problems, the water produced by the water supply system is of questionable microbiological quality.

It is recommended that all consumers disinfect their water before consuming it; this includes making ice, brushing teeth, or using it in food preparation.

Boil water for one full minute in a clean container. The one minute starts after the water has been brought to a rolling boil.

Water emergency declared as barge sinks near Ontario town.
Thursday, March 30, 2017, 5:08 PM – Prince Edward County remains under a water emergency after fuel leaking from a partially sunken barge floated close to the Picton-Bloomfield Drinking Water System’s intake pipe.
The emergency was declared Tuesday, and the Hastings and Prince Edward Counties Health Unit took a further step Thursday by issuing a boil water advisory, and the county will truck in potable water from other sources.
"Since varied water supply trucks will be used to shuttle water, the Boil Water Advisory is being implemented as a precautionary measure to reduce the risk from the possible introduction of bacteria to the drinking water system," the latest release from the county reads.
SPRING HAS SPRUNG: How will the season play out for Canadians?
Find out with The Weather Network’s 2017 Spring Forecast | FORECAST & MAPS HERE The Coast Guard says about 30 litres of residual oil was released into the water.
The system was temporarily shut down as a precaution Tuesday.
The plant resumed operations Wednesday morning, but was soon shut down again after the "discovery of a foul odor in the Picton raw water sampling line (an early warning system)," the county says.
"The pollutant released was residual oil and no further release has occurred since Friday."
A spring stormis expected to push in late Thursday into Friday for southern Ontario and could pose a problem for officials, as the booms are not designed to perform in choppy waters.

Picton issues precautionary boil water advisory after barge fuel leak.
Prince Edward County is warning residents to boil their water after fuel spilled from a partially submerged barge was detected in a sampling line at the Picton-Bloomfield drinking water plant.
On Tuesday night, Prince Edward County’s mayor declared a state of emergency because contaminants leaking from the barge were floating close to a water intake pipe.
He emphasized that the boil water advisory is precautionary and contaminants have not entered the water intake system.
The sampling line, municipal officials assured residents, is a "warning system."
Treating fuel-tainted water complicated Since finding out about the leak, the county has been contacting other communities and spill experts to come up with a plan for how to deal with treated affected water.
Officials have sent samples of the water out for testing and McAuley expects to see the plant restarted in "days, not weeks."
If the community gets the all clear, it’s possible the boil water advisory could be lifted over the weekend.
In the event fuel-tainted water does contaminate the system, McAuley said he can only speculate how it would affect the decades-old treatment plant.
Crews work to lift barge The Canadian Coast Guard has been using a variety of equipment to control the fuel leak, including vacuum trucks and absorbents.
