(City of American Falls, July 27, 2026)
Effective immediately, all City of American Falls water customers are advised to boil all tap water before using it for drinking, cooking, preparing food, making ice, brushing teeth, washing fruits and vegetables, or giving it to pets.
This notice has been issued as a precaution after a loss of communication with the City’s water system caused a citywide loss of water pressure, with system pressures falling below the minimum safe operating level. A loss of water pressure can increase the risk of contaminants entering the water distribution system.
Until this notice is lifted, bring all water to a rolling boil for at least one (1) minute before use. Bottled water may also be used as an alternative.
City crews are on site and are actively working to restore and stabilize the water system. Water pressure is recovering, the distribution system is being flushed, and water quality testing is underway. This Boil Water Notice will remain in effect until testing confirms the water is safe for consumption.
We understand the inconvenience this causes and sincerely appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to resolve this issue as quickly and safely as possible. Updates will be provided as additional information becomes available and when the Boil Water Notice has been lifted.
