[Limpet editor]

https://www.scottishwater.co.uk/In-Your-Area/Investments-in-Your-Area/171223-Stronsay-Boil-Notice.

Scottish Water has issued customers on Stronsay in Orkney with a boil 
water notice instruction for drinking and cooking. This is purely a 
precaution after two anomalous samples were taken on the island which 
did not meet our standards.

The boil water notice will remain in place until we have carried out 
further sampling to confirm there is no issue with the local supply.

*While the boil notice is in place, customers are being advised to only 
use boiled tap water for the following:*

•Drinking
•Cleaning teeth
•Preparing babies’ food (once cooled) and disinfecting baby feeding 
equipment
•Preparing food (Including washing fruit, salads etc and making ice cubes)
•Pet food and drink
•Washing open wounds and for first aid

*Do not:*

•use water that has been boiled several times
•use water labelled ‘natural mineral water’ for preparing baby feed 
other than those supplied by Scottish Water

*No requirement to boil water for:*

•Bathing, showering, or washing – except in cases for open wounds
•Washing dishes – use hot water and dry thoroughly
•Washing clothes
•Toilet flushing
