Westminster extends Boil Water Advisory

Early test results indicate no contamination as the result of an isolated Westminster six-inch water line break; nevertheless, until further notice, the boil advisory has been extended for those customers in the Welcome Church Road area only. It means customers there should boil their water for drinking and cooking purposes for a full minute. This comes after a major water line break, which caused a loss in system pressure. Therefore, residents are urged to boil their water for at least one minute before drinking or cooking until otherwise notified by the City of Westminster Public Works. Also, any ice made from water that has not been boiled should not be used for drinking purposes. The city is at work to correct the problem.
