Greenfield Municipal Utilities has issued a Bottled Water Advisory.  GMU officials say a water sample showed high turbidity levels. Also, they have observed a blue-green algae bloom on the lake. With these issues, officials warn there could be an increased chance that the water could contain disease-causing organisms and compounds that could cause adverse health effects.

Residents should use an alternative source of water until further notice. Do not boil the water. Boiling the water will not destroy compounds potentially produced by the blue-green algae which may become more concentrated as a result of boiling.  Greenfield Municipal Utilities is collecting water samples and will provide additional information as soon as it is available.
