A Drinking Water Advisory has been placed in effect for the Village of Englefeld.

The DWA went into effect on Wednesday, October 16th at 5 PM and is due to an unplanned drinking water system depressurization.

Residents affected by the DWA are asked to:

  • Boil all water used for drinking purposes for at least one minute at a rolling boil.
  • Do not drink from public fountains
  • Showering and bathing are safe. However, make sure not to drink the water, and that infants are sponge bathed.

The DWA will be lifted when the water is determined to be completely safe.
