The Iowa Department of Natural Resources reported late Sunday night a boil advisory has been lifted for the Harrison County city of Pisgah. The boil advisory had been issued following loss of pressure in the entire system Thursday evening. An electrical contact on one of the pumps tripped out and prevented the wells from turning on.

The electrical problem has been repaired and pressure has been restored, but the drop that occurred in water pressure could have possibly allowed bacteria to enter the drinking water. The water has been sampled and determined to be safe.

Officials with Target revealed Friday that the addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of some 70 million customers were impacted by the security breach which the company had said last month involved only 40 million people. Bill Brauch, the head of the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division, says its something Iowa is watching along with others. Brauch says nearly every state is part of a group that is looking at the Target situation and are in communication with the company. Brauch says the Attorneys General have two goals.

“Trying to determine whether Target did all it reasonably should have to avoid the problems that are there — the privacy breeches — and then also tracking what Target is doing to try to resolve that situation,” Brauch explains. He says they will be sure that the company follows through. “So many Iowans are impacted that we’re gonna be very involved, in making sure that first of all, that if Target didn’t do what it was reasonably expected to do to avoid these problems, that it fixes that situation pronto,” Brauch says. The company has been working with them.

“We appreciate the fact that Target has been up front with us in reaching out to us and communicating with us and we hope that that continues as we move through the process,” Brauch says. It’s hard to know exactly how many Iowans may’ve had their vital information stolen, so he says it’s important that you keep an eye on your accounts. “We strongly urge Target customers to watch their credit card bills — or if it was a debit card used — watch them very, very carefully,” he says. Brauch advises everyone, Target shoppers and others, to check their credit report every four months for any irregularities. He says the four major credit agencies are legally required to give you a free credit report once a year.

“You can do that very easily by going to annualcreditreport.com,” Brauch says. “That is the free site set up by the federal government. We strongly discourage consumers from going to pay sites that might be labeled free sites but really aren’t.” Brauch says if you see anything that looks out of the ordinary you should contact your credit card company.
