Several Locations In Town Have Boil-Water Orders

A number of locations in town have been issued boil-water orders by the state Department of Public Health, WTNH-TV's website is reporting.

They are:

• Cedar Grove Mobile Home Park, Clinton
• Evergreen Trailer Park - System #1, Clinton
• Nod Hill Apartments, Clinton
• Evergreen Trailer Park - System #2, Clinton
• Evergreen Trailer Park - System #3, Clinton
• Evergreen Trailer Park - System #4, Clinton
• Goodrich Mobile Home Park, Clinton

According to the Dept. of Public Health, people under a boil water advisory should:

• Safely boil their water by bringing it to a rolling boil for one minute. A rolling boil means that there are very large bubbles in the water, making the water move very quickly.
• Make sure the water does not have any floating pieces in it before you boil it. To make the boiled water taste better, pour the water back and forth between two clean containers a few times.
• Boiled water should be allowed to cool to a safe temperature before drinking or handling.
• Use boiled or bottled water when cooking, washing fruits and vegetables, brushing teeth, or making baby formula. Boiled water should be allowed to cool to a safe temperature before drinking and handling.
• Use water that has previously boiled and cooled to a safe temperature or bottled water to wash hands when cooking.
• Adults and older children do not need to use boiled water to shower or bathe, but should try not to swallow any water or get any water into their mouths. Infants, toddlers, the elderly, and people with severely compromised immune systems should be bathed using water that has been previously boiled and cooled to a safe temperature or bottled water.
