UPDATE: Notice Rescinded December 29th

View/download BOIL WATER NOTICE • Effective 12/27/21

Lost River Airport Customers,

A brief power outage (approximately 1/2 hour) occurred this morning that affected the domestic water service at Lost River Airport.

Typically, the emergency generator would come on automatically and maintain pressure in the water system, but for some reason, the generator failed to start and pressure was lost. We are in the process of trying to determine why the generator failed.

Since pressure was lost in the system, there is a possibility that contaminants could have entered if there are leaks or cross-connections present. At this time, we have no reason to believe that there is any risk, but we are required by the Department of Health to issue a recommendation to boil your water before consuming. Please note that this is only a recommendation, not a requirement, since there is no known contamination.

We are required to mail you a copy of this announcement, so you will receive it in the mail later this week. This email is a courtesy to get the information to you faster. Owners of legal (and illegal) nightly rentals will need to notify their tenants.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at the email or phone number below.
