c. e Vnl k. 2- Media Advisory City of Lino Lakes 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014 IINC \r "A community with a Vision" Date: June 4, 2012 Time: 4:00 PM DO NOT DRINK THE WATER ADVISORY The City of Lino Lakes is working with the Minnesota Department of Health and the Anoka County Environmental Services to verify the drinkability of the water supply for the City of Lino Lakes. As a result of a control system error this morning at approximately 5:OOam, the pressure within the Lino Lakes water system dipped below acceptable standards. Once the problem was identified, pressure was restored by City of Lino Lakes staff. Standard protocol for the City of Lino Lakes is to issue a pre - cautionary drinking water advisory in coordination with efforts from the MN Department of Health. A representative from the MN Department of Health collected samples from the City of Lino Lakes water distribution system to determine compliance with state and federal drinking water standards. The "Do Not Drink" pre- cautionary drinking water advisory will remain in effect until testing results indicate compliance with state and federal drinking water standards. Until then Lino Lakes residents may use city water for activities such as washing clothes and bathing but are directed to not drink the water and to utilize an alternative drinking supply until this advisory is lifted. This advisory only affects those residents using city water; no private wells are included in this advisory. Please see the City of Lino Lakes website, call the Lino Lakes City Hall at 651- 982 -2400 or contact the Minnesota Department of Health at 651 -201 -4700 with any questions.
