BOIL YOUR WATER BEFORE USING
Failure to follow this advisory could result in stomach or intestinal illness.
Due to wildlife intrusion into one of CCWD’s water storage tanks, as a safety precaution, the State
Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water, in conjunction with the Calaveras
County Environmental Health Department, and Calaveras County Water District (CCWD) are
advising residents of the Big Trees Village area, served by CCWD’s Ebbett’s Pass Water System
#0510016, to use boiled tap water or bottled water for drinking and cooking purposes.

DO NOT DRINK THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one
(1) minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used
for drinking and food preparation until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in
the water and it is the preferred method to assure that the water is safe to drink.
• An alternative method of disinfection for residents who are unable to boil their water is to use
fresh, unscented, liquid household bleach. To do so, add 8 drops (or 1/8 teaspoon) of bleach per
gallon of clear water or 16 drops (or 1/4 teaspoon) per gallon of cloudy water, mix thoroughly,
and allow it to stand for 30 minutes before using. A chlorine-like taste and odor will result from
this disinfection procedure and is an indication that adequate disinfection has taken place.
• Water disinfection tablets may also be used by following the manufacturer’s instructions.
You may notice higher-than-normal chlorine levels in your water over the next few days. CCWD will
inform you when tests show that the water is safe to drink, and you no longer need to boil your
water. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to resolve this issue within next 2-to-3 days.
