A boil order issued for Huntsville has been lifted after the source of a water leak was located and the system returned to normal operations.
Huntsville 's boil order has been lifted and the drinking water concern resolved. The source of the leak has since been discovered. The system is back to normal operations and a boiling order is no longer required, the city said in a letter Monday. To flush plumbing, run all cold-water faucets on full blast for at least five minutes each. If your service connection is long or complex (like in an apartment building) consider flushing for a longer period.
Your building superintendent or landlord should be able to advise you on longer flushing times. For an ice maker, dump existing ice and flush the water feed lines by making and discarding at least three batches of ice cubes. Officials said to run enough water to completely replace at least one full volume of all lines and tanks for water heaters, water coolers, in-line filters, and other appliances with a water connection or water tanks, such as kitchen appliances, humidifiers, or swamp coolers. For water softeners, officials said to run through a regeneration cycle and follow any other instructions from the appliance manufacturer. Replace other water filters (fridge filters etc.), as they are disposable and may be contaminated. This applies especially to carbon filters and others that are near the end of their life
