RE: BOIL WATER NOTICE LIFT #5754
WEST FORK WATERWORKS - PWS ID # 577
The Department of Health has released the 'Boil Water' Notice confirmed on 7/24/2025 by WEST FORK WATERWORKS for the Entire System. This order was issued as a precautionary measure because of the possibility that contaminated water may have entered the distribution system as a result of a complete loss in normal system pressure and a maintenance repair by Fayetteville Waterworks.
Bacteriological samples taken on Thursday, July 24, 2025 were found to be free of bacterial contamination and a satisfactory disinfectant level has been established throughout the distribution system. The water is therefore considered 'Safe' for human consumption and the 'Boil Water' notice is hereby lifted.
Sincerely,
