Boil-Water Advisory for Gingercake Landing subdivision residents
Public Notification
BOIL WATER ADVISORY
The City of Fayetteville is issuing this advisory due to a water main break which may be disrupting your water supply or causing water pressure in parts of the
water system to drop to very low levels. The advisory is being issued out of an abundance of caution – there
is the potential a health hazard may exist due to microbial contamination in these areas without positive
pressure.
In order to protect the public from a potential health hazard, customers that have experienced water outages
and/or low water pressures are advised to use only boiled tap water or bottled water for drinking, cooking,
or preparing food.
To properly boil tap water for use, customers should:
• Heat water until bubbles come quickly from the bottom of the container
• Continue heating the water for one minute once it begins to boil
• Remove the water from the heat source and allow to cool before use.
During a Boil Water Advisory, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that boiled tap water
or bottled water be used for followin
• Drinking
• Brushing teeth
• Washing food and preparing food and baby formula
• Making ice
• Drinking water for pets
Other activities such as cloth washing, dish washing and other uses can be done without boiling tap water,
if done properly. The complete CDC guidance can be found at this website:

The advisory is in effect until the City of Fayetteville Water Department has done the appropriate testing to be
confident that there is no longer a public health concern. Customers will be notified immediately when the
Advisory is lifted. Once the Advisory is lifted you should flush all faucets for a minimum of two minutes
before using for drinking or food preparation.
