Residents on well water 09/02/2010 to 12/31/2014 Please see "Hurricane Preparedness" on the Town home page under the heading, "Important Information-Storm Preparation". In addition to having plenty of drinking water available for your family(stored in clean and sealed containers:original consumer packaging, if possible, for drinking and oral hygiene)for the expected duration of the event, be sure to have additional water on hand to flush toilets and perform simple personal hygiene and food utensil washing operations while your well and pump are without electricity. Water reserved for toilet flushing does not need to be of the highest quality and can be stored in a bath tub or other large vessel. Water for dishwashing and hygiene must be of a very high quality and should be stored in clean and secure containers. Use 1/3 cup of bleach to five gallons of water to make a sanitizing solution for a final rinse for your food contact items. Immerse previously washed and clear-water rinsed items in this sanitizing solution for one minute then air dry. Please be aware that if electric service is interrupted, it may not be restored in some areas of town for an extended period after a storm has passed. Stockpile food, water and supplies accordingly.If drinking water quality is uncertain, boil 5 minutes before using.
