DO NOT DRINK BOILED TAP WATER

Governor Adamson has issued that all residents should avoid drinking non-bottled, jugged, or gallon water. He issued that the state would continue to address the misguidance as lawsuits begin getting filed with courts across the country against the Governor's Office and State Health Department.
