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.

The water systems under boil advisories are:

Opinion Gas pipeline will threaten water quality, wildlife and wetlands
by Susan Eastwood

The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection has granted tentative approval of the 401 water quality certification for the Pomfret to Killingly natural gas pipeline. I urge DEEP to deny the 401 certification, as the proposed pipeline would violate the Connecticut’s water quality standards, and the conditions in the draft certification fail to protect our streams, wetlands, and wildlife.

Opinion COVID-19 increases urgency for legislature to pass medical aid-in-dying law
by Dr. Gary Blick

The COVID-19 crisis has exposed the profound tragedy of loved ones dying alone, in a hospital or nursing home, without the care and comfort of loved ones surrounding them. This pandemic also demonstrates the fragility of life, the limits of modern medicine to relieve suffering, and has magnified the systemic racial disparities in our healthcare system, resulting in higher hospitalization and death rates for people in communities of color. We must eradicate these disparities, so everyone has equal access to the full range of end-of-life care options.

Opinion Three fallacies and the truth about vaccines
by Kerri M. Raissian, Ph.D. and Dr. Jody Terranova

Connecticut’s Public Health Committee recently heard public testimony regarding HB6423 and SB568 --  bills that would remove the religious exemption (the medical exemption would rightfully remain in place) from vaccination in order to attend school.  The religious exemption allows parents to effectively opt their children out of vaccines. In doing so, these families can still send their children to Connecticut’s schools, daycares, colleges, and camps.  This places other children at risk of contracting vaccine-preventable illnesses, and it is imperative the Connecticut legislature remove this exception.
