Boiled Water/Bottled Water Advisory Procedures

1. The plumber will immediately issue the Boiled Water/Bottled Water Advisory to the school principal during a water main break or any other temporary disruption in water services that may cause the system pressure to drop below 20 psi.

2. The plumber will then notify his Plumbing Supervisor via phone of the Boiled Water/Bottled Water Advisory alert. The Plumbing Supervisor will fill out a Bottled Water report and will immediately call/fax Rick Ramirez, Wastewater/Water Foreman, making him aware of the situation.

3. During this time, the school principal will apply to each drinking fountain in the affected areas a copy of the Boiled Water/Bottled Water Advisory, which reads as follows:
