Petrolia under a boil notice until further notice
According to a Facebook post, Petrolia's water plant lost power at night, and the pumps did not reset automatically, causing low water pressure.
While the pumps are up and running again, additional testing is required before the water can be deemed safe for consumption.
Customers should boil all water used in the preparation of food and beverages for consumption for two minutes.
This includes water used for:
Drinking water (including pets)
Brushing teeth
Baby formula
Washing produce
Preparing food
Coffee, tea, lemonade, etc.
Making ice cubes (All previously made ice should be thrown out)
Water used for laundry, showering/shaving, and watering grass or plants is safe without boiling.
If you have questions, comments, or concerns, please call Petrolia City Hall at (940) 524-3315.

Watch brushfire scorch acres in Maui's Ka'anapali community
Nearly two years after the devastating wildfires in Maui, firefighters on the island are fighting yet another blaze in the resort community of Ka'anapali. According to a news release from the Maui Emergency Management Agency, the brushfire is burning near the old Sugar Cane Train warehouse. Firefighting efforts in the area have caused both lanes of the Honoapiʻilani Highway between Puʻukoliʻi Road and Lower Honoapiʻilani Highway to shut down. Evacuations were issued to areas near the fire, with officials asking residents close to the blaze to leave due to the effects of smoke and proximity. Fortunately, in an X post, officials with the Maui Fire Department said on Monday, Aug. 4, that the fire had been mostly contained. 'Fire is 90% contained," the post reads. "Firefighters will remain on scene overnight to continue mop up and address any hot spots that present themselves." Watch Ka'anapali fire Before the fire was mostly contained, video from the blaze shows it ripping through the brush as firefighters attempted to contain its spread. How many acres did the Ka'anapali fire burn? The county of Maui shared in a Facebook post that said around 2 p.m. local time on Monday, Aug. 4, the "fire intensity has been significantly reduced and forward progress of the flames has been halted." However, county officials said in the social media post that the "roughly 33-acre fire is still smoldering and requires further containment efforts." It is unclear if anyone was injured or killed due to the fires. USA TODAY contacted the Maui Emergency Management Agency on Tuesday, Aug. 8, but has not received a response.
