LELAND — A Boil Water Alert for the residents of Leland went into effect Tuesday morning.
The alert, which began due to a break in a main water line, remains in effect until further notice.
All water should be boiled before consumption until the advisory has been lifted.
Once water is back on, residents are advised to flush any faucet for a minimum of two minutes to ensure clearing of the line; discard any drinks, ice or food made during the boil notice; rewash any food or drink contact items such as plates, utensils and cups; check water filters in faucets, refrigerators and elsewhere and replace if necessary; run dishwasher through a cycle or two before washing dishes; and do not use water from hot water heater for drinking purposes until several exchanges of the tank have occurred.
