Talquin notes 393 water services are affected by the boil water notice.

Customers are urged not to drink water out of faucets without boiling the water first. Talquin adds to bring all water to a rolling boil, let it boil for a minute and let the water cool before using it for drinking or cooking.

Customers may also experience discolored tap water because of moving sediments in the water main. Talquin recommends to run water from an outside source or a bathtub to confirm water has been flushed before operating appliances.
