91 drinking water systems under boil water advisories
Ninety-one public drinking water systems are under a boil water advisory, according to the state Department of Public Health. The number has been updated from earlier in the day.
Some large public water supply systems lost power capabilities as a result of tropical storm Irene, but emergency power capabilities prevented an interruption in their water supply.
In addition, DPH has advised homeowners with private wells in flooded areas to consider their wells contaminated and disinfect the wells before resuming use.
Residents served by water systems under the boil water advisory should:
Bring their water to a rolling boil–with very large bubbles in the water, making it move very quickly–for one minute. To make it taste better, pour the boiled water back and forth between two clean containers a few times.
Boiled or bottled water should be used when cooking, washing fruits and vegetables, brushing teeth or making baby formula. Boiled water should be allowed to cool to a safe temperature before drinking or handling.
Adults and older children do not need to use boiled water to shower or bathe, but should try not to swallow any water or get it in their mouths. Infants, toddlers, the elderly and people with severely compromised immune systems should be bathed using water that has been boiled and cooled to a safe temperature, or bottled water.
