– (8/14/2018) The Bayou Macon Water System in Madison Parish has issued a boil advisory.
As a precaution, they are issuing a boil advisory.
The Bayou Macon Water System is experiencing problems with the water supply for the customers on Hwy 577 South of I20.
Therefore, as a precaution, the Bayou Macon Water System is issuing a BOIL ADVISORY effective immediately.
This BOIL ADVISORY is to remain in effect until rescinded by the Bayou Macon Water System.
It is recommended that all consumers disinfect their water before consuming it (including fountain drinks), making ice, brushing teeth, or using it for food preparation or rinsing of foods by the following means: Boil water for one (l) full minute in a clean container.
The one-minute starts after the water has been brought to a rolling boil.
(The flat taste can be eliminated by shaking the water in a clean bottle or pouring it from one clean container to another, or by adding a pinch of salt to each quart of water that is boiled.)
Again, please be sure to disinfect your own water prior to consumption until you have been advised otherwise.
Upon such notification, the Bayou Macon Water System will then rescind the Boil Advisory and notify its customers that the water has been found to be safe.

RANDOLPH COUNTY, Ind.

In a later update from the Emergency Management team via their Facebook page, they wrote: "The City of Union City has shut off water for the entire City of Union City.
Any water that you’re able to get out of your lines in Union City needs to be boiled until further notice."

ZANESVILLE – A boil advisory has been issued for some water customers on the south side of town.

Pender County Utilities officials say some water customers in Hampstead will be without service late Wednesday night into Thursday morning for a planned outage followed by a boil advisory.
Residents affected will be those along Sloop Point Loop Road from Highway 17 to Strawberry Fields Way; Country Club Drive from Sloop Point Loop Road to Mallard Bay Road; and all of Mallard Bay Road.
The outage will take place from 11 p.m. Wednesday until 7 a.m. Thursday and is necessary for the NCDOT to relocate a water main.
Once service is restored, a boil water advisory will be in effect.
Due to periods of low or no pressure in the distribution system increases the potential for back siphonage and introduction of bacteria into the water system.
Consumers should boil all water used for human consumption (including drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and food preparation) or use bottled water.
Vigorous boiling for one minute should kill any disease-causing organisms that may be present in the water.
