What’s the difference between a Water Quality Advisory and a Boil Water Notice?.
To add to that, there are three types of alerts, a Water Quality Advisory, a Boil Water Notice and lastly a Do Not Use Notice.
What is turbidity?
Measuring Water Quality Good quality water (<1 NTU) – No alert Even when the water measures low turbidity levels, it is still recommended that newborns and people with compromised immune systems drink boiled water or a safe alternative if they are served by an unfiltered water source.
Poor quality water (>5 NTU) – Boil Water Notice When turbidity levels surpass 5 NTU, all users should drink boiled water or a safe alternative like bottled water.
A Water Quality Advisory is issued in situations in which the public health risk posed by the water supply system is modest or when the turbidity is between 1 – 5 NTU.

Boil Water Advisory for WNY Town — Ever Wonder About BWA Origins?.
Water service to the Village of Brocton was shut off early this morning to repair a major leak, so the Chautauqua County Department of Health says once service is restored, Village customers should boil drinking and cooking water until further notice.

Ever wondered why a Boil Water Advisory is advised and how it began?
It’s to kill protozoa, bacteria and viruses that may have compromised the system.
The pressure loss doesn’t necessarily mean the water has been contaminated, but that pathogens may be able to sneak into the system.
So it’s a precautionary measure.
A 19th century epidemiologist named John Snow is credited with the first recommendation after a cholera outbreak in London in the 1800’s.
The first known official “BWA” was issued in 1866.

Boil water advisory issued for Bel Aire, Park City.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment issued a boil water advisory Friday for Bel Aire and Park City’s public water.
KDHE said the advisories stems from an electrical failure that led to a loss of chlorine residual, according to a news release.
Chlorine residual means enough chlorine was added to the water to combat potential bacteria and viruses, according to the CDC.
Bel Aire Mayor David Austin said the outage occurred this morning at a Chisholm Creek Utility Authority plant, which provides water to both Bel Aire and Park City.
Bel Aire also gets water from the city of Wichita, Austin said.
He said they shut off water from the plant after the outage.
“I’m pretty sure we’re okay, but just to be on the safe side, I encourage everyone to follow this order,” Austin said.
Under the advisory, KDHE says customers should: ▪ Boil water for a minute or used bottled water ▪ Throw away ice cubes and don’t use ice from home icemakers ▪ Let the water run until it clears if the tap water appears dirty ▪ Supervise children if they’re bathing so water isn’t ingested accidentally The advisory will remain in effect until KDHE finds that the contamination’s cause is resolved.
