BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK\/KBFX) \u2014 Residents in parts of Bear Valley Springs were told to boil their water after water supply issues tied to a Public Safety Power Shutoff affected the local water system.<\/p>\n
The Bear Valley Community Services District issued a boil water notice for Deertrail Drive between the southern end of Surrey Way and Teal Court, as well as Surrey Way, Woodview Court and Goldspike Road. The notice also includes all side roads within those areas.<\/p>\n
The affected areas are experiencing water supply issues related to the Public Safety Power Shutoff and its impact on the district\u2019s water system. The district has not identified any specific water-quality concerns, but said disruptions to the water system can affect water safety and the notice is being issued as a precaution.<\/p>\n
Effective immediately, residents in the affected areas were advised to use bottled water or bring tap water to a full rolling boil for at least one minute before using it for drinking or cooking.<\/p>\n
The notice will remain in effect until further notice. The district plans to collect water samples for testing Monday morning, Oct. 19, and said it will provide an update as more information becomes available. Residents were told to continue following the notice until the district announces it has been lifted.<\/p>\n
Residents were also encouraged to conserve water and limit nonessential water use while the water supply is affected. The district noted its water system relies on generators during power outages and said conserving water during outages helps maintain the available supply.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BAKERSFIELD, Calif.
