WEST PLAINS, Mo. — All patrons of the Junction Hill System of Howell County Public Water Supply District #2 will have to boil their water until further notice.
District officials say the order will affect all the water patrons of the Junction Hill System on CR 8040 from US Hwy 160 to CR 8970 & CR 8970 north & south of CR 8040, and is being issued because of an emergency leak that has to be repaired.
Residents and businesses on PWSD water should boil water vigorously for three minutes prior to use for cooking or drinking. Ice machines or water dispensers on refrigerators should not be used.
You can disinfect dishes by immersing them for at least one minute in clean water containing one teaspoon of unscented household chlorine bleach per gallon of water. Water used for bathing does not need to be boiled.
