The Arkansas Department of Health and Salem Water Users have issued a Boil Water Notice for the connections on Pine Drive and Front Drive located south of Aspen Acres. Also included are the connections on Cedar Drive that are located east of Front Street, and all connections on Aspen Acres.
This order was issued as a precautionary measure because of the possibility that contaminated water may have entered the distribution system as a result of a complete loss in normal system pressure.
Under the ‘Boil Water’ Notice, all affected customers are advised that the water may be unsafe for human consumption, and water used for drinking or food preparation must be boiled briskly for one (1) minute prior to use. All ice cubes should be discarded and only boiled water used for making ice.
This Notice will be lifted by the Department of Health when 1 set(s) of 1 bacteriological samples indicate that the water is free of bacterial contamination and an adequate disinfectant level is established throughout the distribution system.
