BOIL WATER ADVISORY LIFTED
Published on Jul 14, 2025 16:37
The boil water advisory issued Sunday, July 13 for the Joint Water Commission
(JWC) Cities of Crystal, Golden Valley, and New Hope has been officially
lifted. Water quality testing completed by the Minnesota Department of Health
has confirmed that the water is safe to drink and use as normal.
Water users no longer need to boil water for drinking,
cooking, or brushing your teeth. All residents and businesses may resume
regular water use.
Additionally, the Minnesota Department of Health suggests
the following:
- Flush
household pipes and faucets. Run each cold-water faucet for 5 minutes or
until the water is noticeably colder.
- Throw
away any existing ice. If you have an icemaker, flush the feed lines and
throw away the first new bin of ice.
- Flush
hot water heaters, water coolers, and any other water storage container.
Flush with at least one full tank volume.
- Clean
water softeners and filters following the manufacturer’s instructions.
Replace disposable filters.
The cities thank water users for their patience and
cooperation while they worked with state and local partners to ensure the
safety of the water supply.
The JWC cities recognize the public’s interest in knowing
exactly what happened and when with the recent water boil advisory. The JWC
will share additional information as soon as it becomes available. Currently,
data is still being collected. Once more details are confirmed, a comprehensive
update will be provided.
###
Since 1963, the cities of Crystal, Golden Valley, and New
Hope have worked cooperatively as the Joint Water Commission (JWC) to provide
treated drinking water to their residents. The JWC purchases treated
Mississippi River water from Minneapolis, stores it in JWC reservoirs and water
towers, and provides it to the three cities for delivery to residents.
Independently, the three cities operate and maintain their own water
distribution systems and charge their customers for these services as
necessary.
