6 Mass. towns ordered to boil water due to E. coli contamination
Residents of six Massachusetts towns were ordered to boil their tap water until further notice after authorities found evidence of E. coli bacteria in tested water samples. The order, which could last two to three days, affects customers of the Abington Rockland Joint Water Works in the towns of Abington, Rockland, Pembroke, Hanson, Hingham and Whitman. In a public notice posted online, the utility company said it detected coliform bacteria in a sample of water collected on Monday and found coliform and E. coli bacteria in samples from Wednesday. 'These bacteria can make you sick, and are especially a concern for people with weakened immune systems,' the utility company warned. Customers were advised to boil tap water before drinking it or to use bottled water as an alternative. Water is safe once it has been boiled for at least a minute, which kills the bacteria. The boiled water can be cooled before using. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, preparing food, brushing teeth and washing dishes. Residents can still bathe or shower, but should 'take care' not to swallow water, the company said. Parents should bathe young children in sponge baths rather than in a bathtub, where there's a greater chance they will ingest tap water. Customers should also throw out any ice, beverages, uncooked foods and baby formula made with tap water drawn from the faucet on or before Wednesday. People should take the same precautions with their pets. Officials planned to conduct widespread testing of the water supply and were taking other measures to clean the water and distribution system. They anticipate resolving the contamination within two to three days. 'We will inform you when tests show no bacteria and you no longer need to boil your water,' the utility company said. E. coli bacteria in the drinking water indicate it may be contaminated by human or animal waste, which can cause short-term diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches and other symptoms, utility officials said. The drinking water can become contaminated when drainage enters the water supply, as it sometimes does after heavy rain. Contamination can also be attributed to a broken pipe or failure in the water treatment process, the company said. More information for residents of the affected towns can be found in the notice posted online by the utility company.
