It’s official — the Boil Water Alert has been lifted for Danbury residents.
They are advising residents, businesses, food services, schools, childcare facilities, and healthcare facilities to “flush” their water following the lifting of the boil water notice to clear plumbing of potentially contaminated water.
Flushing your building water lines includes interior and exterior faucets, showers, water and ice dispensers, water treatment units, and so on.
Failure to do so could result in stomach or intestinal illness.
Run hot water only at all faucets and flush until water runs cool or typically for a minimum of: 15 minutes for a typical household 40-gallon hot water tank 30 minutes for a hot water tank greater than 40 gallons Hot water is then safe to use for hand washing dishes, pots, and pans, etc.
If you ran water through your filter during the boil water advisory, the filter could be contaminated.
Remove and discard water filters Replace with a new filter following flushing Note: If you cannot flush or run water when the filter is removed, replace with a new filter after flushing.
Always follow manufacturer’s directions for filter replacement.
For ice makers, make three batches of ice.
Rinse the device with clean water and sanitize.

The Mayor’s office has lifted its Boil Water Advisory for the resident’s of Danbury.
While the water main break that occurred on Monday, April 23, 2018 at Tamarack Avenue and Hayestown Road has been repaired, officials are telling residents and business establishments to flush water through their systems.
All faucets, inside and outside of homes and businesses, refrigerators with ice dispensers, water filtering systems, showers, etc.
Danbury officials warn that failure to clear out water systems could result in stomach and/or intestinal illnesses.
Residents must make sure that they unscrew the aerator and turn on each cold water faucet slowly.
Water should run for five minutes.
Once that is done, the aerator should be cleaned with dish soap before reinstalling onto your faucet.
If you notice any solid substances in the aerator, clean it with vinegar.
Complete instructions on what actions should be followed in order to clean pipes are on the City’s website which you can access by clicking here.

UPDATED: THE owner of two South Hobart cafes has been buying bottled water for customers after a boil-water alert hit the inner Hobart suburb.
Mr Morton said he was advised by TasWater to boil all water for drinking at his cafes, but that water used in coffee and for washing would be fine because it was heated.
EARLIER: HEALTH Minister Michael Ferguson argues the boil water alert is another reason the Government needs to take over TasWater.
“It does again indicate why the Government went to the election with a policy to get infrastructure fixed sooner and to bring our prices down.
“When it hits home into a city suburb it does indicate what the Government’s position has been and why.” EARLIER: South Hobart residents will have to boil their water until at least tomorrow, with further sampling of the Arthur St water supply to be undertaken at a local laboratory.
He said TasWater staff were trying to narrow down the causes of the bacterial contamination, which could involve the mixing of water from different supplies, burst water pipes or the improper disinfecting of fire hydrants after use.
“What we do is a lot of flushing of pipes and the system in events like this.
EARLIER: RESIDENTS of a Hobart suburb are being told to boil their water before consumption after E. coli bacteria was discovered in the water supply.
Information on the boil water alert is available on the TasWater website (www.taswater.com.au) or by calling 136 992.
Customers should boil all water used for: ■ Drinking ■ Brushing teeth ■ Washing and preparing food or beverages ■ Preparing baby formula ■ Making ice.

RESIDENTS of a Hobart suburb are being told to boil their water before consumption after E. coli bacteria was discovered in the water supply.
TasWater issued the boil water alert on Wednesday evening for residents of South Hobart who are serviced by the Arthur Street Water Supply.
One of several samples taken from areas across South, West and North Hobart during routine sampling contained E Coli, while the others met Australian guidelines.
TasWater and the state’s health department said follow-up tests would be undertaken to investigate the possible source of contamination.
Information on the boil water alert is available on the TasWater website (www.taswater.com.au) or by calling 136 992.
It follows a similar boil water alert for Risdon Vale in November last year.
Customers should boil all water used for: ■ Drinking ■ Brushing teeth ■ Washing and preparing food or beverages ■ Preparing baby formula ■ Making ice.
Unboiled water may be used for: ■ Showering and bathing (avoid swallowing water).
As a precaution babies and toddlers should be spongebathed to prevent them swallowing water ■ Washing dishes by hand or in a dishwasher, providing dishes are air-dried before being used after washing ■ Washing clothes.
The Department of Health and Human Services advises that consumption of unboiled water could lead to nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal cramps and a general feeling of being unwell.

Clark County officials tell 2 NEWS the Village of Northampton boil advisory is now lifted.

A big portion of the City of Danbury is under a water emergency due to a water main break on Tamarack Avenue earlier this morning.
The break, which occurred early Tuesday morning on Tamarack Avenue and Hayestown Road, is affecting thousands of residents in the area, has closed Broadview Middle School and Henry Abbott Tech, and is affecting the water supply to Danbury Hospital.
Mayor Mark Boughton was one of the first to report the break on his Facebook page: According to newstimes.com, it was a severe break of a 16-inch water main that’s causing all the trouble.
The City of Danbury Public Works Department is on the scene working on the problem, and because of the work, and the road closures, access to Danbury Hospital is limited.
Danbury Hospital is also affected by the water main break, and certain outpatient services may be rescheduled as the Hospital is operating with a limited water supply.
Residents of the area who are experiencing low water pressure are now under a "Boil Water Advisory", which means you should not drink the water unless you boil it first.
According to the City of Danbury, there’s no word yet on when the break will be fixed and water will be restored.
