⚠️ URGENT HEALTH ADVISORY: MANDATORY BOIL WATER ORDER
Attention Comfort Keepers Team! 🚨
A mandatory Boil Water Advisory has been issued for municipal (city) water users in several shoreline towns, including Essex, Clinton, Guilford, Madison, Old Saybrook, Westbrook, Chester, Deep River, and Haddam. Routine testing detected E. coli bacteria in the Connecticut Water Company system.
What you need to do immediately:
Check the water source: Confirm if your client uses city water or a private well. This advisory applies to city water users.
Protect your clients: Ensure clients do not drink tap water, use it to brush teeth, or use ice from the refrigerator.
Boil all water: Bring tap water to a rolling boil for at least one minute before using it for drinking, cooking, making ice, or washing dishes. Let it cool completely before use.
Alternative: Use bottled water for all consumption and food preparation.
Please review this with your clients and their families today. Let’s keep everyone safe! 💙
