Greater Bar Water District Boil Water Advisory Rescinded

BRIDGEPORT - Customers of the Greater Bar Water District no longer need to boil their drinking water. Recent test samples show the absence of bacterial contamination.

“Working with the Washington State Department of Health since September 7, we have completed inspections, water quality sampling, disinfection, and flushing to resolve any possible contamination problem,” stated Steven Anderson, GBWD Manager. “We’re pleased to be able to lift the boil water advisory.”

The inspection of the water system indicated no contamination due to loss of pressure. If you have shut off or not used fixtures, water fountains, ice machines, soda machines, and/or other equipment over the past several days, flush the fixture or equipment until there is a change in water temperature before putting it back into service. The Greater Bar Water District encourages customers with questions to call (509) 423-3210
