BOIL WATER ORDER:
"This water system experienced a main break with pressure loss.
When water lines lose pressure, potentially harmful contaminants can enter the water system.
As a safety precaution, customers should boil their water or use bottled water until further notice."

Chlorine will sit in the system for three days. It will take five to seven days to flush the system down to zero chlorine. Then, multiple bacteriological samples will be collected and delivered to the lab for testing.
When all samples test Satisfactory, Ashford Water District will then left the Boil Water Order.
