Precautionary boil water notice issued for Cave Rock Water System

A precautionary boil water notice has been issued for the Cave Rock Water System in Douglas County due to treatment plant shutdown, computer failure, and a data logging loss at the Cave Rock Water Treatment Plant.

Because of this, Douglas County is required to hang precautionary boil water notices until they take bacteriological samples. Once this process is complete and samples are clean, they can rescind the boil water notices.

The boil water notice is only precautionary at this time but Douglas County is taking the proper steps to ensure the safety of residents.
