JOSHUA BASIN PRECAUTIONARY WATER BOIL ORDER LIFTED SUNDAY

After more than two days of being told to boil their water or to use bottled water, customers of Joshua Basin Water District were assured Sunday afternoon that it was safe to use tap water without boiling it prior to drinking or cooking with it. The water district issued the boil order Friday morning following a break in a water main line Thursday night. The boil water order was issued to protect the public’s health from waterborne infectious agents that could be present in drinking water.
