    Notice to Customers of Lake Monticello

    Service Company Waterworks


    Este informe contiene información muy importante sobre su agua potable.

    BOIL YOUR TAP WATER


    Failure to follow this advisory could result in stomach or intestinal illness.

    The Virginia Department of Health in conjunction with the Thomas Jefferson Health
    Department and Aqua Virginia, Inc. are advising residents of Lake Monticello
    waterworks to use boiled tap water or bottled water for drinking and cooking purposes
    as a safety precaution. This precaution is necessary because of a water outage and
    subsequent low water pressure in the Lake Monticello waterworks distribution system.
    This loss of water pressure may result in the introduction of contaminants into the
    water distribution system.

    DO NOT DRINK TAP WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST

    Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, beverage and food preparation, and
    making ice until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the
    water. Boiling is the preferred method to assure that the tap water is safe to drink.
    Bring all tap water to a rolling boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it cool before
    using, or use bottled water.

    If you cannot boil your tap water….

    • An alternative method of purification for residents that do not have gas or electricity
    available is to use liquid household bleach to disinfect water. The bleach product should
    be recently purchased, free of additives and scents, and should contain a hypochlorite
    solution of at least 5.25%. Public health officials recommend adding 8 drops of bleach
    (about ¼ teaspoon) to each gallon of water. The water should be stirred and allowed to
    stand for at least 30 minutes before use.

    • Water purification tablets may also be used by following the manufacturer’s


    instructions.

    We will inform you when you no longer need to boil your water. To address this
    problem, we are taking steps to ensure that disinfection is provided continuously. We
    are also collecting additional water quality samples within the distribution system.

    For more information call:

    Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially
    those who may not have received this notice directly.
