Boil water advisory still active for CNE

The boil water notice has affected only those properties which receive water through the New London Turnpike entry point.
“However, the Wendy’s and Hampton Inn are connected to the Kent County water system, so they are not impacted.” Wendelken said the source of the issue was not initially identified and that the DOH is focused on “chlorinating and flushing” the system.
He said the contamination is believed to have originated in a leasing office men’s room at the GrandeVille Apartment Complex on the West Greenwich side of the development.
NWSI is actively working to sanitize the water supply and lift the boil advisory.
They will also draw four additional samples from the system on the third day.
The boil water advisory will be lifted when all samples come back bacteria free.
Our aim is to get three consecutive days of clean samples.
At that point, we would be able to lift the boil water advisory.” “People should bear in mind that there is perhaps no water in the entire Kent County Water system that is tested more extensively and regularly than the water at CNE,” said McGowan.
The KCWA water going to homes and businesses, however, is generally not tested thereafter, but it is at CNE — again, extensively and repeatedly.” According to McGowan, this incident is the first time there has ever been an issue with water at CNE.
All affected homes and businesses will be notified when the advisory is lifted, according to the DOH.

Boil Order In Place In South Chicago Heights

CHICAGO (CBS) — Residents of a south suburb are forced to boil their water after the cold weather caused three water main breaks.
Walter Ladalski is among the 1,700 South Chicago Heights water customers who must now boil their water before drinking, bathing, cooking and washing dishes.
“I don’t want to take any chances — you don’t know what’s floating in there,” Ladalski said.
The village issued the boil order after three water pipes — including the main one that sits below the town reservoir — burst Tuesday morning.
“When the weather gets that far below zero, it can cause the water to freeze and [the pipes] rupture,” said Catherine Linan, who is a South Chicago Heights Village clerk.
Crews spent the day making repairs.
Village officials say when water pipes break, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires testing the drinking water for bacteria.
While the village took samples Tuesday, the boil order will remain in affect until the results are in.
“All water must be boiled for their own safety and their own concern until the boil water advisory has been lifted,” said Nora Martinez-Gomez, who is the South Chicago Heights Village administrator.
If all is well, they will lift the boil order.

St. Elizabeth’s Hospital coping with water boil advisory

ST. CLAIR COUNTY, Ill. – The now two-day water boil order in the metro east is affecting thousands of people and businesses.
It’s also an inconvenience for hospitals.
There are signs posted inside St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in O’Fallon stating there is no drinking water.
Extended freezing temperatures caused the breaks on the east side of the river and thousands of people are still under an advisory.
“The loss of consumable water is difficult, so we plan for these things and we inevitably have to go and make sure water sources are turned off,” said Tim Claxton, director of facilities at St. Elizabeth’s.
The employees at St. Elizabeth’s control what happens with their patients, but it’s more difficult to make sure visitors know what’s going on when they arrive.
It’s not easy, but St. Elizabeth’s always has a plan, Claxton said.
“We rely on local vendors like Sam’s, Walmart, Schnucks, Dierbergs to provide us with water,” Claxton said.
Besides the drinking fountains not being open and the coffee shop not able to make coffee without running water, you really wouldn’t know everything they’re doing behind the scenes.
“The water is safe to wash your hands, bathe, and all those functions, just not safe to consume right now,” Claxton said.
