County Environmental Health today issued a boil water order and public notification for the Lazy H Mutual Water System in Pauma Valley.
This public water system serves one restaurant, six cabins, one swimming pool and thirty-seven residential connections.
The drinking water system has tested present for total coliform bacteria and absent for E. coli. Total coliform bacteria can come from soils and other sources in the environment and can indicate a problem with the water supply system. The boil water order was issued to ensure all water used is free from contamination. The boil water order will remain in effect until the distribution system has been disinfected and additional samples confirm the absence of bacteria in the water supply.
