A precautionary boil order REMAINS in effect for all City of Aurora water customers.
While additional tests conducted in the past 24 hours have shown that the total coliform that caused the original precautionary boil order is not passing from the water treatment plant officials are still working to isolate the actual source of the total coliform.
The presence of total coliform can indicate the possible presence of harmful bacteria.
Although the City believes city water does not present a serious health hazard, we continue to advise our residents to boil their water for five (5) minutes before drinking, making ice cubes, washing foods, brushing teeth or any other activity involving human consumption.
Because of the continuing testing required, the precautionary boil order is expected to extend through mid-week.
PLEASE DO NOT CALL 911
