Boil water order issued for Skyline area

A precautionary boil water notice has been issued for the East Valley Water System in the Skyline Service Area, effective 10:30 a.m.

The order was issued due to a loss of pressure in the area.

Residents may experience low water pressure but the water supply is not being shut off. Do not drink the water without boiling it first. Bring all water to a boil for two minutes and let it cool before using or use bottled water.

The order affects Skyline Ranch inclusive of East Valley Road north of Johnson Lane to south of Stephanie Way, Chiquita Drive, Terra Court, Skyline Drive, Fremont Avenue, and Crown Way; Bramwell Homestead inclusive of Downs Drive east of Stewart Avenue, Stephanie Way east of Fuller Avenue to west of East Valley Road, Stewart Avenue, Brandi Rose Way, Fuller Avenue, Amber Rose Drive, Kaleb Court, Pamela Place, and Squires Street.

Not affected are Squires Street north of Stephanie Way, Steve Court, West High Pointe Court, High Point Court, Nye Drive south of Chowbuck Drive, Sierra View Court and Thirsty Magoo Court.

Piñon Hills Elementary School is not within the affected area.

The county is working with the State Bureau of Safe Drinking Water to bring the system back online and complete the requisite bacteriological sampling to ensure the safety of our residents.

The county anticipates being able to rescind the precautionary boil water notice by Friday.
