“Boil water” advisory issued for Raymond

The City of Raymond has issued a boil water advisory, citing problems caused by recent heavy rains and flooding.

The Department of Health advises residents to boil tap water they’ll use for drinking, brushing teeth, preparing food, making ice, and washing dishes.

“Water should be heated to a brisk boil for one minute and then allowed to cool before use,” the department says.

Schools were in session Monday, but officials advised teachers and students to bring bottled water.
