The City of Kalama is advising all water customers to boil their drinking water after a major water main break drained the City’s main water storage reservoir. The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) has been notified and the City of Kalama is working closely with the Office of Drinking Water to repair the main break. The boil water advisory will remain in effect until further notice.
The boil water advisory includes several precautionary steps that customers should take. These include using purchased treated bottled water or boiled water for any water that might be consumed: drinking, brushing teeth, dishwashing, preparing food and making ice. Water should come to a rolling boil for one minute, then allowed to cool before using.
The advisory will remain in effect until the City is able to restore service pressure and obtain satisfactory water quality samples. Once satisfactory results are reported to the City and DOH, customers will be notified that the advisory has been lifted. For updates, please check the City’s website at www.cityofkalama.com.
If you have any questions, please call Kalama Public Works at 360-673-3706.
