The water has been treated to meet state <br />health standards and is safe to drink. The problem is aesthetic only. <br /> <br />Some customers may notice taste and odor in their water for a few more <br />days as this water makes its way through the system; however, another <br />major rainstorm in the Cheesman area could cause a reoccurrence. <br /> <br />Boiling water is not advised and may make the problem worse. Instead, <br />customers should store their drinking water in a covered glass container in <br />the refrigerator. <br /> <br />### <br /> <br />I <br />i <br />~______..__.-----.J <br /> <br />'httn./lurll.rl1., rlpn"pn.,-:::afpr ru'o!,.,-::afPTu,;rp/1Jlrnrfl.o:;nTlp. h+ml <br /> <br />Q/l ~/(n <br />
