Due to a sudden drop in Water Pressure, the Town of Grifton water system has experienced periods of low pressure in parts of the distribution system. Low pressure in the water system increases the potential for back siphonage and the introduction of bacteria and other contaminants into the water system. While the risk of contamination is considered unlikely, standard procedure and caution require the town to sample and test water to ensure the quality of water. If you have any concerns regarding the quality of your water, the below is recommended:

 

 

As a precaution, customers in the Town of Grifton are advised to boil all water used for human consumption (including drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation) or use bottled water. Vigorous boiling for one (1) minute should be sufficient to kill any disease-causing organisms that may be present.

This advisory remains in effect until further notice. Once pressure is restored and water samples indicate the absence of bacterial contamination, the advisory will be lifted, and the public will be notified.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we work to restore normal service.
