AURORA –A boil water advisory has been issued Friday for customers of Aurora, Dillsboro and Hogan Township utilities.
Aurora Utilities supervisor Randy Turner says one of three wells tested positive for E. Coli.
“We are not using that well, but we have to make the advisory,” Turner said. “We are still taking samples in our distribution system that are bacteria free, but we are having a problem with this well, and not going to use until we get cleaned up.”
The boil water advisory is in effect until further notice. Turner estimates it could last through next Thursday.
Officials ask residents to boil water at least one minute before it is consumed.
