Boil Water Advisory In Effect!
September 20th,2024
Only those connected to the municipal drinking water supply in the Village of Madoc are affected by the boil water advisory. After an emergency repair, water sample tests are required before turning the pumps back on to produce water. The repair was successful.
However, water consumption in the system resulted in the water storage tower reaching a low level that required the pumps be turned back on before receiving the results of the water sample tests back from the lab. The boil water advisory is precautionary and we kindly ask for your patience and understanding while we await the results from the lab.

Due to maintenance and system limitations we are unable to meet WWA Standard C654. As a result we are issuing a precautionary boil water advisory until further notice.
To avoid possible illness, you must bring the water to a rolling boil for at least one minute before drinking it. Let the water cool down before using or drinking. Until further notice, use boiled water or an alternate source of safe drinking water (such as bottled water) for:
- drinking
- making ice cubes, juices or other mixes
- preparing baby food or infant formula
- preparing food, including washing fruits and vegetables
- gargling or brushing teeth or dentures
Hand Washing
- Wash hands with bottled water, or boiled then cooled water.
- If using non-boiled tap water, wash hands with liquid soap and dry thoroughly. Then rinse/sanitize using one of two solutions:
- Alcohol-based hand disinfectant containing more than 70% alcohol
Thank you for your cooperation!
