The County has issued a boil water order for Clover Flat Elementary School in the East County community of Boulevard.

The Department of Environmental Health reports the school’s drinking water system has tested present for total coliform bacteria. Total coliform bacteria can come from soils and other sources in the environment and can indicate a problem with the water supply system.

The boil water order was issued to ensure all water used is free from contamination. The order will remain in effect until the distribution system has been disinfected and additional samples confirm the absence of bacteria in the water supply.
