DALLAS, N.C. – Officials are advising people in the town of Dallas to boil their water after a treatment failure was detected.
Officials with public works said the treatment technique failure was detected in samples collected from the water system serving the town.
They recommend customers boil their water before any use, including drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and food preparation.
Officials said boiling for one minute should kill any disease-causing organisms that may be in the water.
They’re advising people to continue boiling their water until more testing can confirm the treatment technique has been fixed.

MOUNT GILEAD — The boil advisory has been lifted as of noon Thursday, according to village administrator Dan Rogers.
Please contact the Mount Gilead Water treatment plant for information at 419-946-1871.

The city water department and the Georgia EPD have lifted the current boil water advisory for the areas on Allenwood Subdivision and Hwy 49.
Favorable results were produced from the bacteriological sampling within the affected area.
With the boil water advisory lifted, the water supply has been deemed safe for human consumption.

LAKEVIEW — Fading paint and rust spots have left the village of Lakeview’s water tower in need of an upgrade.
“Every two years, we have the village’s water tower inspected and cleaned,” Gallagher said.
After that, we’ll put three full coats of paint on the entire thing.” Fedewa estimates they’ll finish the project by Aug. 8, weather permitting.
The Lakeview Village Council decided to paint the water tower Delft Blue — a color that will hopefully protect the structure from UV light for a long time to come.
In the past, the word “Lakeview” was appeared on both sides of the water tower; however, the Village Council approved placing a gold and black logo that reads “Cats,” referencing the Lakeview Community Schools’ wildcat mascot, to face the high school athletic complex.
“The new logo shows that the village and school work together and that we fully support them.” The water tower project faced a few hiccups in the earlier stages, as a mechanical failure resulted in a pressure loss and a boil water advisory for the village that lasted for three days early last week.
“The tower was out of service at that time, which didn’t necessarily help, but we had pressure restored within 25 minutes of the loss and were able to get things moving again pretty quickly after that,” Gallagher said.
Fedewa says the project is now coming along nicely, as they have already finished cleaning and removing the rust spots.
“So far, it’s going well,” Fedewa said.
“The water tower is the second most important piece of the water system we have in Lakeview, with the first being the wells,” Gallagher said.

Chief Harley Chappell signed an agreement this week with the City of Surrey at a council meeting.
Now that a deal is in place with the city, Chappell is confident the SFN can proceed with the substantial infrastructure upgrades that are needed.
"My whole life, our community has been struggling for basic necessities of potable water and sewer," he said.
‘Its a historic moment’ The SFN currently gets its water from White Rock, but its deal with the municipality expires at the end of 2019.
"No one in this day and age should be without potable water," said Mayor Linda Hepner.
"Mabel has been waiting her whole adult life for this to happen," Chappell said.
Councillor Tom Gill, who was part of negotiations with the city, says the city had a rocky relationship with the SFN in the past.
He says it was an emotional moment to see Charles in attendance when the deal was signed.
Chappell says a fire would be catastrophic to the community.
Chappell says once the infrastructure is in place, they will be able to install fire hydrants.

A boil water advisory remains in effect until further notice for customers living in the western end of Milledgeville and those who receive water services from the city.
Before then, though, city officials began being informed of water outages in various areas in the western portion the county, as residents telephone the Milledgeville Police Department to report they didn’t have any water.
City Manager Barry Jarrett said the areas effected by the break were residents who live in areas of Allenwood subdivision, Magnolia Apartments, Georgia College’s West Campus, and residences along Ga. Highway 49.
Jarrett was attending a city council work session about stormwater management when he received the news of the main break.
Less than three hours after the water main was discovered, city waterworks crews had made repairs, according to Kevin Veal, who serves as the city’s water and sewer maintenance superintendent.
“It was pretty easy to find and relatively easy to fix,” Veal said of the broken PVC waterline.
Veal said he was not able to determine what caused the water main break.
“The line has sustained the same pressure that it has for years right here.” Felicia Cummings, the city’s public information officer, said Tuesday that local waterworks officials still were in the process of pulling samples from the city’s water supply for testing purposes.
Cummings indicated it would take 24 hours for those water samples to undergo proper testing.
Officials with the Georgia Environmental Protection Division are required to notify city officials that the water is safe for the public’s consumption before the boil water advisory can be lifted.

If you live in Vesper, which is northwest of Wisconsin Rapids, don’t drink the water, even when it comes back on.
There was a water main break Tuesday, which drained the village’s water tower.
That should be repaired by Wednesday morning, except to about 5-homes closest to the break.
But even after the water comes back on, the village clerk says you shouldn’t drink it without boiling it, until they can do more testing to make sure it’s safe to drink.
It’s okay to use it for things like showering and laundry.
They don’t know what caused the break.
It affected 235 customers.
