SAFE WATER NOTICE
FOR CUSTOMERS IN THE CHIMNEY CANYON ZONE OF THE LEBEC COUNTY WATER DISTRICT

Este informe contiene información muy importante sobre su agua potable. Tradúzcalo o hable con alguien que lo entienda bien.

On March 8, 2011, you were notified to boil the tap water supplied by the Lebec County Water District or use bottled water for drinking or cooking purposes. The boil water order was issued following shutdown of a mainline in the Chimney Canyon Zone in order to repair a break in the main. Due to loss of pressure in the Chimney Canyon Zone, potential harmful microorganisms may have entered the distribution system. Water service to the Chimney Canyon Zone was restored in the afternoon on March 8, 2011, after repairing the main. The distribution system was disinfected and flushed and two (2) bacteriological samples were collected on March 8, 2011, from the affected area. All two (2) samples collected on March 8, 2011, have tested negative for total coliform bacteria. The Lebec County Water District, in conjunction with the California Department of Public Health, has determined that your tap water is now considered safe to drink. It is no longer necessary to boil the tap water or consume bottled water.

For more information please contact Karin Willson, Secretary with Lebec County Water District at (661) 248-6872 or you may contact California Department of Public Health at (661) 335-7315.
