Statesman-Journal A Keizer woman complained to officials Friday after she and her 8-month-old son unintentionally drank tap water at a Salem sushi restaurant.
But under the advisory, health officials have warned pregnant women, nursing mothers and children under the age of 6 to not drink or cook with tap water.
After getting up to leave, she noticed other customers were drinking bottled water.
She asked the waitress whether she’d been given bottled water.
The waitress replied that no, customers were given tap water unless they request bottled water.
Horrified, Parr realized she’d let her baby drink contaminated water.
Officials said the city does not provide any public health enforcement involving restaurants.
Instead complaints are directed to the Marion County Health Department and Oregon Health Authority.
Restaurants are not required to take specific precautions, but experts are available to advise restaurant owners on how best serve uncontaminated water.
