DRINKING WATER ADVISORY

The Clarion Water Supply is recommending to boil the water before using for drinking or to use an alternative source.


The Clarion Water Supply had a problem in the distribution system and the system lost pressure on Sunday, October 27, 2024. Due to the potential for bacterial contamination, it is being recommended that the water be boiled before using for drinking or cooking or that an alternative source be used.


IT IS RECOMMENDED NOT TO DRINK THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST. Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, and food preparation until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water. The water may be used for bathing and other similar purposes. If the water is colored, use an alternative source such as bottled water.


For more information, please contact the City of Clarion, 515-532-2847.


General guidelines on ways to lessen the risk of infection by microbes are available from the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1(800) 426-4791.


When water service is restored, there may be air in your water piping and the water may be discolored. It is recommended to run the first water from a faucet that does not have an aerator screen, such as a bathtub or hose bib. Open the faucet slowly to allow the air to escape. Once the water is flowing, allow the faucet to run until it is clear. The water may be cloudy at first due to air in the water or particles that dislodged as the pipes filled with water. This should clear fairly quickly. If water is cloudy or colored throughout the house and it does not clear after allowing the water to run for several minutes, use an alternative source such as bottled water and contact the person listed above.

The system is being repaired and then will be repressurized, and bacteria samples will be collected. This advisory is a precaution until bacterial sample results are available. You will be notified when the results are available, and the advisory is lifted.

This is very important information! The water may be cloudy at first due to air or particles that dislodged! Allow the faucet to run until it is clear. If the water does not clear after allowing the water to run for several minutes, use an alternative source such as bottled water and contact them immediately! Flushing out these particles also requires patience, just like you have to handle continuous drifts in the game drift boss!

This post about the drinking water advisory was really important to read. It shows how staying informed and taking quick action can protect community health. It reminded me of how preparation matters in every situation like how students use a TEAS Exam Help Service to strengthen their weak areas before an important test. Whether it’s studying or public safety, being proactive and well-prepared always makes a difference.
