**********

A BOIL WATER NOTICE is in effect for all Chester Metropolitan District customers. This notice comes as a result of a major water main break in Fort Lawn.

Boil water vigorously for at least one minute prior to drinking or cooking.

Customers should vigorously boil their tap water for one full minute prior to drinking, cooking, washing hands for food preparation, giving to pets, or for any use that could cause water to enter the mouth. Any ice made from water which has not been boiled must not be used for drinking purposes.

Once repairs are complete, CMD will continue to flush the affected areas and perform bacteriological testing. Customers will be notified once the problem is corrected and boiling water is no longer necessary.
