I'm not from that area, what's a boil alert?

[–] wren 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

philly water dept says to boil water you get out of the tap before drinking it

Impacted customers are advised to boil water for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and preparing formula. The city suggests:

Bring water to a rolling boil.

Let it boil for one minute.

Let the water cool before using.

It is unclear how long the water boil advisory will be in effect. Customers with questions can go to water.phila.gov or call (215) 685-6300.
