"The City of Jackson has issued a precautionary boil water order for all of the properties in Annwood Estates Subdivision in eastern Jackson due to a water main break near the intersection of East Jackson Boulevard and Brittany Drive. Repairs to the main line which broke at 11:00 P.M. last night have recently been completed and water service will soon be returning to the homes in this subdivision soon.

"In accordance with State regulations, the City is issuing a precautionary boil water order for the homes in Annwood Estates, which includes Brittany Drive, Leming Lane, Dana Drive and Nicole Lane, beginning immediately. This precautionary boil water order will expire at 10:00 A.M. on Thursday, July 10th, unless otherwise notified. The City is also hand-delivering notices to the affected residents to alert them of the boil water order.

"Residents affected by the boil water order need to take the following precautions:

"1.Boil water vigorously for three minutes prior to use. Use only boiled water for drinking, brushing teeth, diluting fruit juices, and all other food preparations or consumption.

"2.Dispose of ice cubes and do not use ice from a household automatic ice maker. Remake ice cubes with water that has been boiled.

"3.Disinfect dishes and other food contact surfaces by immersion for at least one minute in clean tap water that contains one teaspoon of unscented household bleach per gallon of water.
