Water Safety (Boil-Water) Notices

ON THIS PAGE

How Notices Are Issued

Individual water systems issue precautionary safety notices when water pressure is lost. Water systems are responsible for notifying their customers directly using whatever means necessary when such a self-imposed water safety notice is issued.

When water testing by the MSDH Public Health Laboratory indicates problems related to water quality, MSDH immediately sends a state-issued water safety (boil-water) notice to the public via press release and this website. The local water system is again responsible for notifying customers directly.

In addition to posting state-issued notices on this site, MSDH will post self-imposed notices if properly notified by water system officials. MSDH may issue press releases to radio, television and newspaper in the affected area to supplement the public notification efforts of the water system.
