## Resource

Ephrata Borough is under a boil water advisory after bacteria was detected in a water sample — classified as a “tier two” alert, meaning officials are taking it seriously. Everyone must boil water for at least one minute before using it for drinking, cooking, ice, or brushing teeth; bottled water is recommended until the situation is resolved. The Ephrata Area Joint Authority, which discovered the issue, is managing the response and will notify residents when it’s safe to return to normal tap water use. This isn’t the first water quality concern in the area — local groups have been working for over a century to proactively address such issues. Stay safe, stay informed, and boil that water.
