Plateau Water Service Restored

4:30pm Water service to Plateau customers will be restored within an hour. The return to full service will be gradual for some Plateau residents, as the water mains take time to refill.

The Plateau is under a precautionary boil water order.

While under a precautionary boil water, please follow these instructions.

During a precautionary boil water advisory, the City recommends that all water for consumption is brought to a rolling boil for a minimum of one full minute.

It is recommended that all water be boiled for the following uses:

·             drinking;

·             preparing infant formulas;

·             preparing juices and ice cubes;

·             washing fruits and vegetables;

·             cooking; or

·             brushing of teeth.

Water can be boiled either in a pot or kettle on a stove or an electric kettle without an automatic shut-off.
