The Water Security Agency has placed the Town of Eastend on a Precautionary Drinking Water Advisory.

Eastend Town Administrator, Edna Laturnus says, "It was due to the elevated turbidity in the water treatment plant's filter. Therefore, they have issued a Precautionary Drinking Water Advisory until this condition can be resolved."

Residents of Eastend should boil all water for drinking purposes for at least one minute at a rolling boil before consuming.

Water should be boiled for all other activities where it might be ingested, including brushing teeth, washing fruits and vegetables and making ice cubes.

The Advisory was put in place on Monday July 16th and The Town says if you've drank water and have any symptoms contact the Cypress Health Region.
