LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - The City of Edgar issued a boil notice on Friday as a precaution against residents drinking potentially contaminated water.
According to city officials, these notices are usually due to unexpected conditions that have created a potential for bacteriological contamination in the public water system.
To comply with the boil notice, people will need to ensure that all drinking water is heated until it reaches a full rolling boil for a minimum of one minute before it is allowed to cool. Since this can be a time-consuming process, individuals will need to plan ahead to have sufficient water available for cooking, drinking, washing and caring for their pets.

But they have become more problematic as governments struggle to address climate change and pivot to energy sources that do not result in carbon dioxide emissions.
