(Logan, Iowa) – Harrison County Emergency Management alert- The city of Logan has issued a boil order until further notice for businesses and residents in the shaded area below.

A boil order is issued when an event has occurred with the potential to adversely affect water quality, or a situation has occurred where there is known degradation of the water quality. DO NOT DRINK WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST. Bring all water to a rolling boil, let it boil for one minute, and cool before using; or use bottled water. You should use boiled or bottled water for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth and food preparation until you are notified that the advisory has been lifted.

Officials also recommend the following steps:
• Throw away uncooked food or beverages or ice cubes if made
with tap water during the day of the advisory
• Keep boiled water in the refrigerator for drinking
• Do not swallow water while you are showering or bathing
• Provide pets with boiled water after cooling
• Do not use home filtering devices in place of boiling or using
bottled water; Most home water filters will not provide
adequate protection from microorganisms
• Use only boiled water to treat minor injuries
• It is safe to wash clothes without first boiling the water.
