Boil water advisory issued for about 230 Fayetteville residents
About 230 homes in the city of Fayetteville are being asked to boil their water after a water main break in the city.
The break happened on South Jeff Davis Drive late Tuesday afternoon and recent updates indicated that they were still working to repair the damage and could continue for at least five hours.
As a precaution, the city is asking residents to boil water for at least 24 hours in the Sutherland Farms and Highland Park subdivisions.
The precautionary measure follows a drop in water pressure that resulted from the break and could have allowed foreign matter to enter the water system.
It also means that residents in the impacted areas should avoid drinking water without first allowing it to come to a boil for at least 3 minutes to kill bacteria and other organisms that could be in it.
This properly sanitized water should be used for making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and food preparation as well to avoid any risk of illness.
While a contamination can cause nausea, diarrhea, cramps, and headaches in adults, it is also known to be more dangerous to those with weakened immune systems such as the very young and very old.
Once the water line is repaired, authorities will perform tests on the water to see if there was anything of concern in the water.

Break leads to boil water advisory in Soap Lake
SOAP LAKE — A water main break in Soap Lake over the weekend resulted in a call for all residents to boil their water until further notice.
The water main reportedly broke sometime on Saturday at the intersection of Third Avenue Northeast and Fern Street North. As a result of the broken main all residents who are connected to the city’s water utility were urged to boil their water until further notice by the city.
"The city crew (will) continue to work to get control of the leak. The Department of Health has been notified. There is a boil water notice in effect until all the lines are flushed and chlorine run through them. Everyone will be sent a letter when it is clear to use water without boiling,” Mayor Raymond Gravelle said.
Residents were encouraged to purchase bottled water or boil their own water for drinking, brushing teeth, dishwashing, preparing food and making ice.

Boil Water Notice Issued For Emmonak; Water Pressure Loss Sparked Contaminant Concern
The community of Emmonak is under a boil water notice after the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) issued a public water systems’ advisory earlier this week.
According to staff with the city office of Emmonak, sometime Tuesday morning, a construction crew was installing new water lines in the community, and their work caused the entire Emmonak Water System to lose pressure. The DEC’s public notice says a water pressure loss can potentially contaminate the water system through back-siphonage.
As of Tuesday, a boil water notice was issued for Emmonak and will remain in effect until the DEC confirms there are no more contaminates in the water system due to the loss of pressure.
Heather Newman is the environmental program manager with DEC in Alaska. She says the department requires that three coliform samples be taken from the area of water lines where maintenance was being done. If bacteria are present in those water lines, Newman says they can be flushed with chlorinated water.
According to Newman, it takes the DEC lab 24 hours, starting once they receive the water samples, to get results and determine the presence of contaminants.
The Department of Environmental Conservation expects Emmonak’s water system to be taken off boil notice by sometime late next week.
