Residents of Wainwright and the base were under a boil water advisory Tuesday afternoon.

Officials said the advisory was issued as a precaution due to increased turbidity levels, along with a structural defect within the water treatment plant.

As a result, water used for drinking, preparing food, for making infant formula, making ice cubes, washing fruits and vegetables and to brush your teeth should be brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute before being used.

According to officials, activated carbon water filters such as Brita filtration systems are not a safe method for treating water under this advisory.

No illnesses have been reported, and officials have not had positive bacteriological water samples.
