DRINKING WATER ORDER
Cove Fort Water System water is contaminated with E. coli
BOIL YOUR WATER BEFORE USING
THE BOIL ORDER IS IN EFFECT FOR ALL RESIDENTS
AND BUSINESS.
Our water system recently detected total coliform and
E. coli bacteria at Cove Fort. As our customers you
have the right to know what happened and what we
are doing to correct the situation.
Cove Fort Water System was notified by our laboratory on
September 16, 2025, that some of the repeat samples
taken on September 15, 2025, within the distribution
system came back E. coli positive. We took the original
routine sample on September 9, 2025, and it came back
total coliform positive and E. coli absent. With some of the
repeat samples from September 15, 2025, being E. coli
positive, we are putting this boil order in place until we can
find and fix the problem that has occurred.
We take your health and the quality of our drinking water
very seriously and we need to inform each of you of the
situation. Since we do not collect total coliform and E. coli
samples every day, we wanted to let you be aware of the
risk. Below is more information about health impacts of E.
coli found in drinking water. Please contact us if you have
additional questions. We apologize for any inconvenience
and thank you for your patience.
What is being done?
Bacterial contamination can occur when (homeowners connect untreated secondary irrigation water to the drinking water linecausing a cross-connection contamination, due to a break in the distribution system (pipes), a failure in the water treatment process,
ect.). Our water operators are working hard at determining the issues.
We are taking the following corrective actions.
1. We are chlorinating and flushing the water system.
2. We are looking for possible cross connection issues
from illegal secondary water hookups.
3. We are increasing sampling for coliform bacteria to
determine the source of the contamination.
4. We will be working with the Division of Drinking Water
