A drinking water advisory has been issued in the City of Early.
The Early Municipal Water Supply is recommending citizens to use an alternative source for drinking due to high nitrates. Nitrate levels may be above the Maximum Contaminant Level. Nitrate in drinking water is a serious health concern for infants less than six months old.
Do not boil the water. Bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, and food preparation until further notice. The water may be used for bathing and other similar purposes.
Contact Early Water Superintendent Kris Alesch for more information at 712-660-0222.
The City of Early is also in a Water Conservation Warning. All customers are required to limit all non-essential uses of water to conserve resources.
