Whiting Water Department Issues Boil Order

Wednesday, January 13, 2010

The Whiting Water Department, in consultation with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, has issued a boil order for Whiting water customers, effective immediately. This precautionary measure is recommended because of problems with the city’s water monitoring system. We recommend that all water for cooking and drinking be brought to a complete boil for at least 5 minutes before using. The order is expected to be in effect through Wednesday. The city will notify residents when the order is no longer necessary. Anyone with questions may call the Whiting Water Department at (219) 659-0407.
