What is a Boil Water Notice?

You may receive a "hang tag" or other form of written notice on your front door, or hear a news report on the radio, television, or through social media that a precautionary boil water notice has been issued for your neighborhood. Specific details about the event will be listed on the notice left at your door. A contact number is also provided for additional information if needed.
What is a Precautionary Notice?

The Polk County Health Department requires a precautionary notice after pressure in the lines drops below a certain level. This is usually caused by a water main break, system maintenance, or problems at the water plant such as a loss of disinfection. By comparison, a mandatory notice is rare and far more serious, and its provisions should be strictly followed.
Water Treatment

A precautionary notice doesn’t necessarily mean something is wrong with the water. It is simply that it’s possible that contaminants may have entered the system. Thus, customers are advised as a precautionary measure to boil tap water for cooking and drinking.
Household Treatment Tips
Boil water for one minute and cool before use. Follow these tips:
- Pour water back and forth between two containers a few times to avoid a flat taste from boiling.
- Discard any ice from automatic ice-makers.
- Avoid contact with cuts or other wounds when bathing. Note that it is OK to use non-boiled water for bathing.
- Allow the water to run until it is clear before washing clothes.
Notice Delivery

Precautionary boil water notices are usually issued for 48 hours, until tests show the system is definitely clear of contaminants. If you received a notice on your door that an advisory has been issued, you also will receive a hand-delivered notice when the alert has been lifted. If you heard the news through the media, the lift notice will be issued the same way.
