Home/What requirements are there for food preparation during a Boil Water Advisory?

Shut off appliances that use tap water (e.g., ice machines, drinking fountains, produce misters, bottled water refill machines, soft drink fountains connected to the water supply, and water dipper wells).

Discard ice and mixed beverages made either with contaminated water or water associated with the Boil Water Advisory.

Use packaged ice from approved sources.

Use bottled water, water from an approved source in an approved truck, or boiled water for drinking, food preparation, washing produce, and cooking. If boiling water is not possible refer to the Centers for Disease Control: CDC Fact Sheet, “What to Do During a Boil Water Advisory.”

If possible, rely on single-use disposable plates, cups, and utensils.
