UPDATE – AUG 27, 2020:
The Department of Health has released the “Boil Water” Notice from August 26th for the connections on Springhill Road from Northlake to Hilldale, including Springhill Acres. This order was issued as a precautionary measure because of the possibility that contaminated water may have entered the distribution system as a result of complete loss in normal system pressure.
Bacteriological samples taken on Wednesday, August 26, 2020 were found to be free of bacterial contamination and a satisfactory disinfectant level has been established throughout the distribution system. The water is therefore considered ‘Safe’ for human consumption and the ‘Boil Water’ notice is hereby lifted.
PREVIOUSLY – AUG 26, 2020:
Due to a water main break, the Department of Health announces a “Boil Water” Notice by Salem Water Association for services on
- Springhill Road
- From Northlake to Hilldale, including Springhill Acress.
This order was issued as a precautionary measure because of the possibility that contaminated water may have entered the distribution system as a result of a partial loss in normal system pressure.
Under this notice, all affected customers are advised that the water may be unsafe for human consumption, and water used for drinking or food preparation must be boiled briskly for one (1) minute prior to use. All ice cubes should be discarded and only boiled water used for making ice.
This Notice will be lifted by the Department of Health when one (1) set of bacteriological samples indicate that the water is free of bacterial contamination and an adequate disinfectant level is established throughout the distribution system.
Can we please verify the Springhill Acres reference? In another report I saw Springhill Village and I did not think Springhill Acres went as far as the streets listed. I am just looking for clarification. Thank you!
