• Throw away ice cubes, drinks and food that were prepared with unboiled tap water.

- washing clothes
- taking a shower or bath (make sure that young children don't swallow water, or wash them with a washcloth).
• Boil water even if you have a home filtering device for your drinking water, as it will not eliminate micro-organisms that could affect your health.
• Schools, businesses and institutions must shut off water fountains and advise the public that water is not fit for consumption. They must also list places where drinking water is available.
• Dial 811 if you have questions about your health.
