Re: Water Emergency
_________________________________________________________________________________________
The Ipswich Water Department is asking all customers not to use their water, for any purpose, until further notice. High pH levels have been detected in the system this morning and as a precaution, the water should not be used. The Water Department is currently flushing the water mains and is asking all customers to flush their service lines. Customers should flush their cold water for 15 minutes from all fixtures in the house and then flush the hot water for an additional 15 minutes from all fixtures. Public notification will be made when the system has returned to normal. If anyone experiences skin, eye or throat irritation or burning, we recommend that they contact their personal physician.
Please contact the Water Department at (97
356-6635 with any questions.
