The boil water advisory issued Sunday, July 13 for the Joint Water Commission Cities of Crystal, Golden Valley, and New Hope has been officially lifted. Water quality testing completed by the Minnesota Department of Health has confirmed that the water is safe to drink and use as normal.
Water users no longer need to boil water for drinking, cooking, or brushing your teeth. All residents and businesses may resume regular water use.
Additionally, the Minnesota Department of Health suggests the following:
- Flush household pipes and faucets. Run each cold-water faucet for 5 minutes or until the water is noticeably colder.
- Throw away any existing ice. If you have an icemaker, flush the feed lines and throw away the first new bin of ice.
- Flush hot water heaters, water coolers, and any other water storage container. Flush with at least one full tank volume.
- Clean water softeners and filters following the manufacturer’s instructions. Replace disposable filters.
The Joint Water Commission will share additional information as soon as it becomes available. Currently, data is still being collected.
Once more details are confirmed, a comprehensive update will be provided. Since 1963, the cities of Crystal, Golden Valley, and New Hope have worked cooperatively as the Joint Water Commission (JWC) to provide treated drinking water to their residents. The JWC purchases treated Mississippi River water from Minneapolis, stores it in JWC reservoirs and water towers, and provides it to the three cities for delivery to residents. Independently, the three cities operate and maintain their own water distribution systems and charge their customers for these services as necessary.
