Upcoming water advisory issued for Leader

The Town of Leader’s water distribution system will be on a precautionary drinking water advisory beginning February 20, 2024, and will remain on advisory for approximately four weeks. Equipment maintenance/upgrades at the water treatment facility necessitate this precautionary water boil advisory.

A notice was sent out to users of Town of Leader water, advising that once the work is complete, the Town will submit water samples for testing. Once samples have passed testing results, the advisory will be lifted.

Residents are advised to boil water for drinking, washing fruits and vegetables, brushing teeth or soaking false teeth, making ice cubes, preparing drinks which will not be heated, and washing dishes. It was also advised to rinse washed dishes in a bleach water solution and to avoid drinking from public water fountains.
