Residents should continue to boil water used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth or preparing food, as boiling kills any bacteria and other organisms that may be in the water. Residents should bring water to a boil for one minute and let cool, or use bottled water. The boil order is in effect until further notice for customers of Glenwood Municipal District.
