Boil Water Notice Lifted, Flush Lines Before Drinking

Boil Water Notice Lifted, Flush Lines Before Drinking

University Park has lifted the boil water notice that included SMU’s campus. Before drinking tap water again, please make sure to flush lines for 3 to 5 minutes.

Here are some other guidelines to follow before using water to brush teeth or prepare food.

• Faucets: Run for several minutes to flush any old water from the pipes.
• Water filtration systems: Replace the filter.
• Ice makers – Throw out old ice as well as the first batch of ice made after that.
• Dishwashers: Run the dishwasher through one cycle to flush out any old water.

For on-campus offices with kitchen areas or coffee suites, water filtration systems may need a new filter: Please work with your department to make sure it has been refreshed before using.
