County to School District: Boil Water. Bacteria Found in Sample

The County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health Department has issued a Boil Water Order for the Warner Springs Unified School.

A water sample collected on July 11 confirmed the presence of total coliform bacteria in the water supply for Warner Springs Unified School.

E. Coli bacteria was absent in the sample. Total coliform bacteria can come from soils and other sources in the environment, and can indicate a problem with the water supply system.

The Boil Water Order was issued to the school to ensure all water used by the school is free from contamination. The boil water order will remain in effect until the distribution system has been disinfected and additional samples confirm the absence of bacteria in the water supply.
