The North Lawrence Water Authority has issued a boil order for resident in Western Hill Addition Addition and all customers on Ind. 158 East of the addition.
The boil order is in effect until Wednesday, October 1.
Under a boil-water advisory (BWA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that water be brought to a rolling boil for one minute before it is consumed in order to kill protozoa, bacteria and viruses. At altitudes above 2,000 meters, boiling should be extended to 3 minutes, as the lower temperature of the boiling point at high altitudes requires more time to kill such organisms.
