What’s the difference between an advisory and an order?
A boil water advisory is a precautionary notice issued when contamination is possible but has not been confirmed, such as following a loss of water pressure, water main break or repair.
A boil water order is issued when a public health threat or contamination has been confirmed and boiling water is required.
