The City of Fairfield Water Distribution Department has issued a boil water order for residents along Southwest 12th Street and any other customers who experienced a loss of water service during scheduled maintenance Monday morning.
According to city officials, the boil order was issued as a precaution following the maintenance work.
Residents in the affected areas are advised to boil water before using it for drinking, cooking, food preparation, making ice, or any other form of human consumption.
The boil order will remain in effect until further notice.
City officials say water samples must be tested and meet safety standards before the order can be lifted.
Once testing is complete and the water is determined to be safe for normal consumption, residents in the affected areas will be notified.
Until then, customers who experienced a water service interruption during Monday morning’s maintenance should continue following boil order precautions.
