Why nine Iowa counties have gone days without clean drinking water

The Union County seat has been without drinkable water since Friday morning after a membrane filtration system failed at the Twelve Mile Water Plant.
The tap water is still suitable for bathing and safe for pets and livestock, said Dan McIntosh, general manager of the SIRWA and Creston Water Works’ treatment plant.
"The membranes are about $1 million," McIntosh said.
She was grateful for Hy-Vee’s giveaway but knew it wouldn’t last long.
"With drinking water, even if it’s boiled, I just don’t trust it."
"It was all four membranes all at the same time," he said.
But he said that water is "still available."
‘There’s a lot of frustration’ While people have found practical workarounds to the water situation, many are still upset over the mixed messages and hazy timeline coming from the water utility.
"There’s a lot of frustration with the lack of communication," said Brian Davis, a member of Creston’s city council and the assistant director of Creston’s Hy-Vee store.
At Peterson’s home in northeast Creston, she developed a system for boiling, cooling and storing water in her kitchen.

Resources Pulled Together to Help People Impacted by Boil Order

CRESTON, Iowa — Creston Water Works issued a boil advisory last Friday.
Residents across seven southern Iowa communities are forced to boil water before drinking it, cooking with it, or using it to brush their teeth.
The Southern Iowa Rural Water Authority (SIRWA) says it is still safe for animals.
On Monday, a local Hy-Vee stepped in to donate more than 20,000 gallons of water to people in the area.
SIRWA says residents should continue boiling water until further notice, as it is waiting on a filtration part to fix the system.
Last week, an issue with that filtration system resulted in bacteria, viruses, and parasites leaking into the water.
No one has fallen ill so far, but local businesses like Casey’s says they are unable to serve food due to the boil order.

Netcong residents: Boil your water

Residents are urged to boil tap water before cooking, drinking, preparing foods, mixing baby formula, washing vegetables and fruit, making ice, brushing teeth and washing dishes.
Borough administrator Ralph Blakeslee said contractors began work on the project Monday morning, but he could not state an estimated time of completion.
Blakeslee added he would try to post updates on the borough Facebook page when available.
However, there is the potential threat to the quality of water being provided to you during construction.
The borough advised residents of the advisory via social media posts on Friday morning, and by Nixle alert and its public alert system on Sunday.
Police also issued an alert on Sunday.
"We did that on Sunday because we figured that was the time that people would most likely be home," Blakeslee said.
Blakeslee said borough officials advised the school district and school officials said they were prepared to cope with the advisory.
Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking; preparing foods; mixing baby formula, food, juices or drinks; washing vegetables and fruit; cooking; making ice; brushing teeth; and washing dishes until further notice.
