DRINKING WATER WARNING

Lyndonville Water System WSID VT0005040

BOIL YOUR WATER BEFORE USING STARTING MONDAY 11/9/2026

Due to the need for system maintenance/repair including but not limited to water line break there is a strong possibility that
your drinking water supply may become contaminated on the way to the tap. This situation presents a significant health
risk to users of the Lyndonville water system. The Lyndonville Water System is issuing a Boil Water Notice for users,
effective immediately FOR CUSTOMERS FROM PLAYERS LANE NORTH TO URIE DRIVE ONLY. IF YOU DO NOT
LIVE WITHIN THIS SECTION YOUR WATER IS NOT AFFECTED.
What should I do?
DO NOT DRINK THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST. Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it
cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth,
washing dishes, and food preparation until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.
Coliforms are bacteria which are naturally present in the environment and are used as an indicator that other; potentially
harmful, bacteria may be present. When a water system is experiencing fluctuations in water pressure the possibility
exists for bacteria and other harmful organisms to enter the water distribution system and contaminate your drinking water
supply.
People with severely compromised immune systems, infants, and some elderly may be at increased risk. These people
should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. General guidelines on ways to lessen the risk of
infection by microbes are available from EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1 (800) 426-4791.
What happened? What is being done?
This Boil Water Notice will remain in effect until the water system maintenance/repair is complete and the system is able to
demonstrate that the quality and quantity of the drinking water meets State and Federal drinking water standards.
We will inform you when the necessary system maintenance/repair has been completed and tests show no bacteria
present in the drinking water supply. We anticipate resolving the problem by Thursday 11/12/2026.
For more information, please contact Charlie Taylor at 802-626-5939 or the Town Clerks office at 802-626-5785 and
someone will get back to you as soon as possible.
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have
received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, landlords, nursing homes, schools, and
businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.
