BOIL WATER NOTICE
Due to the recent water outage, which occurred on 11/16/2024 the Apple Valley Heights County Water District is advising customers to only use boiled tap water or bottled water for drinking and cooking purposes as a safety precaution to avoid stomach or intestinal illness. The affected area includes Portions of Allegra Vista, Mesa Vista, Buena Vista, Flora Vista, Central Road, Roundup Way, and Ocotillo Way.
We will inform you when tests show that water is safe to drink, and you no longer need to boil your water. We anticipate the water will return and the distribution system will be re-pressurized by 07:00 PM. Afterward, we will collect bacteriological water samples to ensure the quality of the water.
If you have questions about other uses of tap water, such as bathing and dish washing, please call
760-247-7330 or read this guidance: https://www.cdc.gov/healthywater/

Boil all water for one (1) minute (rolling boil).
Let water cool before drinking.
Use boiled or bottled water for drinking, brushing teeth, and food preparation until further notice.
Boiling water kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.
If you are unable to boil your water:
Household unscented liquid bleach
For clear water, use 8 drops (1/8 tsp.) of bleach for 1 gallon of water. For cloudy water, filter through a clean cloth and use 16 drops (1/4 tsp.) of bleach for 1 gallon of water.
Mix well. Allow to stand for 30 minutes before using.
Water may taste or smell like chlorine. This means disinfection has occurred.
