(Carson, Iowa) – Officials with the City of Carson said Monday that the City experienced a loss of water pressure Monday morning, due to a broken water main.  The leaking main was isolated.  Residents were reported to  have water, but the water pressure may be low.

Officials say “It will take some time for the water tower to restore regular water pressure,” and they apologized for the inconvenience.  As a precaution, the City of Carson remains in a boil order for the entire community until further notice.  The water conservation declaration remains in place.  Residents should boil water as a precaution. Bring all water used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth or preparing food to a boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it cool before using. Or, use bottled water. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water. Tap water can be used for bathing and similar purpose.
