Steps We Are Taking

We are increasing the chlorine in the sanitizing rinse for our dishes pots and pans. We will call a well driller to disinfect the well again. We will provide bottled water for drinking and all ice served on the premises will be purchased, made from an approved source or from water that has been boiled.

We will inform you when additional samples show no E. coli bacteria and you may drink the water. We anticipate resolving the problem within 2 weeks.
