Boil Water Notice Canceled In Healdsburg, Tap Water Tests Safe

HEALDSBURG, CA — Healdsburg residents no longer need to boil their water because it has been deemed safe, the city said Friday morning.

A boil water notice was implemented Wednesday for certain areas of the city because of a water main break at a construction site. The break caused a loss of pressure, and the city needed to test the water.

Residents within an area bordered on the west by Healdsburg Avenue, on the north by the area of Solar Way, on the east by Canary Court, and on the south by Kinley Drive, were instructed to boil their water before drinking it or cooking with it— or use bottled water — as boiling killed bacteria and other organisms that may have been in the water.

Shortly before 10 a.m. Friday morning, the following announcement was issued:

"The City of Healdsburg's Water System in conjunction with the State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water, has determined that, through abatement of the health hazard and comprehensive testing of the water, your water is safe to drink. It is no longer necessary to boil your tap water or for you to consume bottled water."
