Officials with Atlantic Municipal Utilities say they have received several calls regarding the boil water order that has been issued for parts of Southeast Cass and Northeast Adams counties. AMU wants its customers to know the boil order does NOT affect AMU customers. It is for customers of the Southern Iowa Rural Water Association (SIRWA), only.

AMU says its water supply remains safe and unaffected by the boil order. The Atlantic water supply is pumped from underground aquifers north of town. That raw water is then treated locally and regularly tested to ensure it is of the safest and best quality possible.
