Boil water advisory in effect in Lake Lillian

(Lake Lillian MN-) A Boil Water Advisory has been issued for the City of Lake Lillian from the Minnesota Department of Health. Loss of pressure in the system potentially could cause backflow and bacterial contamination.

Residents in the City of Lake Lillian are advised not to drink the water without boiling it first. Bring all water to a rolling boil for one minute and let it cool before using or opt to use bottled water.

Bottled or boiled water should be used for:

Drinking

Brushing teeth

Washing dishes

Food preparation

Making ice

Pets

Water can be used for showering or bathing if water is not swallowed. However, infants and young children should not bathe using contaminated water since they may swallow some of it.

Water can be used for washing your hands, washing clothes and watering plants. It is recommended that softeners or filters be bypassed or not used during the advisory. The only concerns with the water have to do with consuming it.

The Minnesota Department of Health will continue to test for contamination. The Boil Water Advisory is in effect until further notice.
