In the aftermath of the notice being rescinded, the city recommends that customers take the following precautions before resuming the consumption of tap water:

• Flush Pipes, Ice Makers, Water Fountains, etc.: Run the tap water for one to two minutes to flush out any stagnant water and ensure fresh, clean water for consumption.
• Icemakers Maintenance: Make three batches of ice and throw them away to remove any contaminants that accumulated during the boil water notice.
• Water Softeners Regeneration: Regenerate water softeners to keep them running and keep your home's water quality high.
• Water Filters Maintenance: Make sure your water filters are working well by replacing or cleaning them.
