Boil Water Advisory Information

BOIL WATER ORDER FOR ENFIELD MUNICIPAL WATER USERS HAS BEEN LIFTED

The Enfield Boil Water Order Has Ended, effective Thursday, November 17, 2022 at 1:30  pm

ATTENTION MUNICIPAL WATER USERS - What should residents do when the boil water notice is lifted? 

  • Flush household pipes/faucets by running each of the cold water faucets on full for at least five minutes each. If your service connection is long or complex (like in an apartment building) consider flushing for a longer period. Your building administration or landlord can advise you if longer flushing times are recommended. 
  • Automatic ice makers: dump existing ice and flush by making and discarding three batches of ice cubes. Wipe down the ice bin with a disinfectant. If your water feed line to the machine is longer than 20 feet, increase to five batches. 
  • Hot water heaters, water coolers, in line filters, and other appliances with direct water connections or water tanks: run enough water to completely replace at least one full volume of all lines and tanks. If your filters are near the end of their life, replace them. 
  • Water softeners: run through a regeneration cycle. 
  • Reverse Osmosis (RO) units: replace pre filters, and check owner’s manual. 
  • Replace other water filters, as they are disposable and may be contaminated. This applies especially to carbon filters and others that are near the end of their life
