Autoplay:XShorewood issues precautionary boil- bottled drinking water advisoryx SHOREWOOD — The Village of Shorewood Department of Public Works issued a precautionary boil advisory Tuesday after residents noticed little to no water pressure.
"Some of that impacted the delivery of water into our system, it impacted those pressures so the pressure dropped and that’s what triggered this," Butschlick said.
UW-Milwaukee campus officials put signs on bathrooms asking faculty and students to use bathrooms on lower floors where the water pressure was stronger.
Workers at Lake Bluff Dental in Shorewood also took extra precaution.
"I did go to the Metro Market up the street and bought distilled water," said lab technician Laury Veksler.
"We quickly swapped everything out and made sure patients weren’t ingesting or touching it."
Butschlick said the village will send water samples to a lab for testing, "Labs generally take 18 to 24 hours to process those types of samples so we expect to have an answer about Thursday morning hopefully," she said.

Water is flowing to Erin water customers but it won’t be deemed completely safe for consumption for at least 48 hours ERIN, Tenn. — Life will getting back to normal over the next couple of days for City of Erin water customers as water service returns to their homes and businesses after repairs were completed Monday evening on three waterline breaks.
“Our water (treatment) plant is up and running again to near full capacity,” Phillip Baggett, Erin’s director of operations, said Tuesday morning.
Officials are cautioning customers to boil water for drinking to remove any harmful contaminates that may have gotten into the water.
Additionally, the city has bought more than 150 cases of bottled water for customers affected by the water outage.
‘California mudslide’ The situation began on Saturday, when heavy and continuous rain caused an embankment along Highway 149 near Old Highway 149, to give way.
“It was just like a California mudslide where the mud took off down the hill, taking the waterline with it,” Baggett said.
After the initial break was repaired, two more were discovered and subsequently fixed.
Baggett said repairs were completed on a third leak in the waterline around 6 p.m. on Monday.
“It will probably be this (Tuesday) evening before the water levels are up in the tanks.” Because the water system operates primarily by gravity, water held in the elevated storage tanks creates water pressure throughout the system.
“The people at high points or who live on hills will be the last to get water,” Neilson said.

A pricing misunderstanding at a Target store caused outrage in the wake of a natural disaster in Queensland, Australia.
On March 28, a Category 4 cyclone, nicknamed “Cyclone Debbie,” hit Australia and New Zealand.
Torrential rain, sustained winds of 114 mph, and dangerous storm tides caused flooding and severe damage to coastal towns and islands.
When Natalie Maher, a Queensland resident, stopped in the Bowen, Queensland, store following the disaster, she uploaded a picture to Facebook of a 24-pack of 600 ml bottles of water, priced at $72.
Due to storm damage, officials declared the local tap water unsafe to drink because of elevated bacteria levels.
She said that the bottles of water are normally sold at $3 each for individual bottles.
An employee simply did the math to price the 24-bottle pack and set the water out on the floor in packages.
The spokeswoman said, “We again apologise for any misunderstanding and the team at our Bowen store will continue to support the local community during these difficult times in anyway they can.” The aftermath of the cyclone was considerable: buildings and structures were destroyed, crops were flattened, coal mines shut down, and over 63,000 homes and businesses were left without power.
Six deaths have been reported in Australia, and a search continues in New Zealand for a man said to have been consumed by a swollen river.

STAMFORD — The start of the Atlantic hurricane season looms only a few weeks away.
Nestlé Waters North America is approaching the 10 million mark in bottled-water donations to disaster relief and humanitarian aid nonprofit Americares.
In the 13-year parternship, Nestlé Waters has become Americares’ main partner for delivering bottled water to areas in the United States affected by natural disasters and public health crises.
A shared commitment to delivering a necessity to vulnerable communities has solidified the partnership, say executives of the two Stamford organizations.
With 30 production facilities across the U.S., Nestlé Waters North America can quickly deliver bottled water to disaster areas.
“The Americares team can provide information back to us in a timely manner,” Cleary said.
The lead poisoning of the city’s water supply affected about 100,000 families, including many who would not be able to afford a steady supply of bottled water.
In January 2016, Americares and Nestlé Waters responded.
“When our emergency teams are on the ground, they’re able to talk to partners about the needs people will have,” Weiss said.
“We hear directly from those teams on the ground, and we communicate that information back to Nestle Waters.” More than a decade earlier, the partnership faced its first major test with the devastation wrought by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005.

Their system, which will installed in delis and fast food restaurants, lets you refill your water bottle for free with filtered tap water that should, in theory, be better than the swill you currently get from water fountains.
They bootstrapped the first few stations and won grands from NYU and the 2016 New York StartUp!
Business Plan Competition.
They are raising $500,000 to create a pilot network of 100 locations in New York and have started and Indiegogo campaign to raise more funds.

The system works via RFID and an app.
The app shows where Reefill stations are hidden and you pay a $1.99 a month for access.
While it doesn’t seem like much – a water fountain connected to an app, basically – Pessel notes that 50% of all bottled water comes from the tap anyway so this just cuts out the plastic-producing and, at $2 a bottle in New York, expensive middlemen.

LPGE students look to eliminate disposable plastic water bottles.
1 / 2 Long Prairie-Grey Eagle Secondary School students have committed to eliminating disposable water bottles through a "Ban the Bottle" initiative.
Phillips said last year’s area studies students launched a green Initiative with a commitment to do something environmentally friendly for the school, its students, and the community on an annual basis.
The area studies class spent time studying global water resources, plastics, the economics of bottled water, and pollution.
On March 31, all students and staff at LPGE Secondary School attended a symposium led by those involved in the Area Studies Green Initiative.
The students’ presentation emphasized the importance of drinking water and the environmental impact and health risks associated with plastic bottled water.
Students were also given a "Ban the Bottle" bracelet to remind them to use their water bottles wherever they go in lieu of the disposable plastic counterpart.
Students in the Area Studies Green Initiative applied for funding through NJPA’s Small Project Partnership.
"Every dollar raised was from the community, including from NJPA, who is a partner with our school," Phillips said.
"The Small Project Partnership from NJPA really made this happen, because we were finding out it was going to be too much money per sponsor, and they matched everything we did."

Forest Springs bottled water recalled.
Forest Springs bottled water is being jointly recalled by the Saint Lucia Bureau of Standards (SLBS) and Forest Springs Ltd, due to concerns about possible contamination of the 1.5 litre size bottle of that product.
In a statement today, the SLBS said that as a precaution the recall affects all Forest Springs Water which carries the best before date codes of 31927/04/18.
The bureau has advised customers not to consume the affected products bearing the codes.
“Forest Springs is cooperating fully with the SLBS in resolving all concerns relating to this matter,” the SLBS statement said.
Distribution of new batches of the bottled water has ceased until full inspection and certification by the Saint Lucia Bureau of Standards.
“A preliminary investigation suggests a mechanical failure as the cause of the possible contamination of the water.
The company is working with the SLBS to determine the definitive cause of the problem,” the SLBS explained.
It said that following this, immediate action will be taken to prevent a recurrence.
“Once the SLBS’s assessment process is complete a full statement will be released to the public on the status of the company’s bottled water products,” the statement said.
