Boil Water Update From The General Manager
**Update 4-6-2016 #1**
All customers are still under the boil water advisory until further notice.
The broken water main has been repaired as of late Monday night. Field Crews spent Tuesday disinfecting and flushing the system, because of this you might notice an odor of chlorine. All customers are still under the boil water advisory for any water that will or may be ingested for example: Drinking, cooking, tea or coffee, brushing teeth, or washing fruits, vegetables or any other food. We also advise all customers to boil their water prior to giving it to pets. to ensure the water is safe to drink, it should be brought to a rolling boil and allowed to boil for at least one minute. The water is safe to use for bathing, washing clothes, or washing dishes.
The District is hoping to be able to lift the advisory by Friday, however that will be dependent on the results from water samples at the laboratory.

North Beach Water District has experienced a water main break in close proximity to a potential source of contamination. As a precaution, North Beach Water District is issuing a Boil Water Advisory for all of its customers until further notice. As soon as the water main is repaired the distribution system will be flushed and disinfected. The District will submit water samples to a certified laboratory to confirm the water is safe to drink. The Department of Health will lift the Boil Water Advisory when the water is safe to drink. See Official Notice below.
What is the street boundaries included in this “Emergency Boil Water Notice”. Do we, at Pacific Realty, need to call all of our Long-Term renters to alert them or will they also receive an automated “alert” call?
Thank you,
Pat McLean, Property Manager
Is it safe to shower or not.
Can we take showers and brush our teeth? Or should we boil that water too?
Is there danger to bathing? I had cut my hand deeply with glass washed it off, then I received a call from you about 20 minutes after.
Let me. know when the water is safe to drink,
Thank you so much for alerting me via my phone, and for keeping us apprised! Good job, guys!
We will continue to post updates on our website so be sure to check back. We will also issue an automated call when we are able to lift the boil water advisory.
Where is the break located? What is the current report numbers of the containment?
I’d like to be placed on a direct notification list for things like this
Not sure my original comment posted
Thank you
Any update? Has the main been repaired? Has the system been flushed and disinfected? Have the samples been sent? How long does the testing take?
The repair has been made an we have introduced chlorine into the system as a disinfectant. We are currently flushing the line and will be taking samples to the lab later today. We hope to be able to lift the advisory by Friday but that will be dependent on the results from water samples at the laboratory.
Is the “Boil Alert” just for drinking? What about using the clothes washer? What about showering? Other “dos” and don’ts”?
Estimated time of a fix?
FYI, I posted around 1 PM on April 5, not the “7:47 PM” stated above.
The boil water advisory is only for water that will or may be consumed i.e. drinking, cooking, or brushing teeth. It is still okay to wash clothes, dishes and bathe with. We hope to be able to lift the advisory by Friday but that will be dependent on the results from water samples at the laboratory.
I did not get a phone call about the boil water advisory. How do i get on that call list? I found out about this on social media which is a bunch of crap, no pun intended.
If you did not receive our automated call I would encourage you to call our office at (360) 665-4144 to make sure we have your most current contact information on file.
Please add my phone number to your emergency notification system. We did not receive any notification of the boil water advisory. Thank you.
Your number has been updated in our system, you will receive an automated call once the boil water advisory is lifted.
Would someone please tell me why it took you a full day to post this on your website???
The announcement was posted on the website on April 4th, 2016 at 4:35 pm within 30 minutes of the advisory going into effect.
How long do you anticipate this issue to persist?
The boil water advisory is in effect until further notice, but we hope to be able to lift it by Friday but that will be dependent on the results from water samples at the laboratory.
How long is this in effect? I never got a reply concerning using the water after I received the recorded call? Are we giving a discount on our bill,for higher electric and gas costs to continue boiling water for days?
The boil water advisory is in effect until further notice, but we hope to be able to lift it by Friday but that will be dependent on the results from water samples at the laboratory. The District does not provide reimbursement for unforeseeable emergencies. If you need further information please call the office at (360) 665-4144 or come by our office at 25902 Vernon Avenue in Ocean Park.

Your e-mail address has been updated in our system, I would also encourage you to call the office at (360) 665-4144 to make sure we have your current phone number(s).
The water stream in my house disappeared at least 2 hours before I received a robo call alerting me to the contamination in the water system. I drank at least 3 glasses of water after the contamination. About 24 hours after drinking the water, I have experienced extreme stomach cramps, joint pain, headache and horrible diarrhea. I want to know if the water district will be compensating me for my pain and suffering for the complete incompetence in handling this contamination. This is completely unacceptable.
