Cal Water rescinds boil advisory for central Bakersfield after multiple results reveal no E. coli

Cal Water rescinds boil advisory for central Bakersfield after multiple results reveal no E. coli.
Cal Water had issued an alert to 220 residents in the area bordered by Drake Street, Spruce Street, 21st Street and Oak Street after a test detected E. coli in the water Thursday.
“Protecting our customers’ health and safety is our highest priority," Bakersfield District Manager Mike Mares said in a statement, "and we apologize for this unfortunate incident, especially given that we have had no major issues in this part of the water system for as far back as we can remember.” Testing for bacteria like E. coli takes 24 hours and the water is tested daily, he said.
The notice told customers, "A water sample tested positive for E. coli after a main repair was made late on Thursday, July 27."
The repair before Friday’s water sampling could have impacted the test, but Cal Water is still investigating the exact cause, McCusker said.
Affected residents were asked to avoid drinking, cooking, brushing their teeth or washing their dishes with their tap water in a notice sent out Saturday.
Cal Water asked these customers instead to either boil their water for at least one minute or use bottled water.
Cal Water said it will issue a credit to residents on their upcoming water bill because they could not use their water as normal during the weekend.
To cope, some affected residents choose to go to the store and buy gallons of water.
The affected customers also had the option of going to the Cal Water station, per the amount of people in their household.

Boil water notice issued for more than 5,600 people in Beaverton area

Boil water notice issued for more than 5,600 people in Beaverton area.
BEAVERTON, Ore. – A boil water notice is in effect for some people who get their water from Tualatin Valley Water District.
The notice was issued for people living south of Farmington Road.
The utility has a detailed map of the affected customers, and a way to look up whether your address is affected.

Boil orders common as leaks spring up

Usually, Doersam said, the water department digs down to a line and finds a leak that requires replacing a section of water line.
The line replacement offers the chance for contaminants to get into the pipe and the water, so the department has to treat the water running through that line.
Leaks don’t always trigger the replacement of water lines, however.
Most often, Doersam said, the lines simply have holes in them that can be sealed with clamps without turning the water completely off.
When one of the clamps broke, the department decided it would be best to replace that section of pipe, triggering the boil order.
According to the guidelines, any time water pressure to a pipe is shut off, a boil order must be issued for customers whose water passes through that pipe.
Other times, however, a main water line is effected, causing a whole street and many customers to be under a boil order.
Doersam said several factors could be causing the rash of leaks the department is seeing.
Doersam said the plan is to look at replacing pipes in weak areas throughout the town after the water main project along Highway 231 is completed in 2018.
“All we can do right now is get them as they come,” Doersam said.
