PRECAUTIONARY BOIL WATER 10/21/2025
A Precautionary Boil Water Advisory has been issued on Tuesday October 21, 2025 for all residents on Leadwood’s city water.
This advisory is being issued due to a check valve replacement at the well Wednesday.
What precautions should you take if under a boil order advisory?
The following steps need to be taken:
1. Boil water vigorously for three minutes prior to use. Use only water that has been boiled for drinking, diluting fruit juices, all other food preparation and brushing teeth
2. Dispose of ice cubes and do not use ice from household automatic ice makers. Remake ice cubes with water that has been boiled.
3. Disinfect dishes and other food contact surfaces by immersion for at last one minute in clean tap water that contains one teaspoon of unscented bleach per gallon of water.
NOTE: Let water cool sufficiently before drinking.
After the work is completed, we will be doing special samples. When these samples come back ok, we will lift the boil advisory and inform all people affected.
