Boil Advisory Lifted Except for a Few Homes

The boil advisory has been lifted for the the areas serviced by the Tan-Tar-A water tower, except for a few homes in Tan-Tar-A Estates:

125, 147, 165, 191, 215, 229, 243, 257, 267 & 287 Staniel Cay Drive remain under a boil advisory until further notice.

For the rest of the areas, the water has been tested and is safe to drink.

For the remaining homes on the boil advisory, you may want to take the following precautions:
1. Boil water vigorously for three minutes prior to use. Use only boiled water for drinking, brushing teeth, diluting fruit juices and all other food preparations or consumption. Use of bottled water may be a feasible, though relatively expensive, alternative to boiling tap water when under a boil water order.
2. Do not use ice from a household automatic ice-maker or use any ice made with unboiled water from this system. Remake ice cubes with water that has been boiled or buy ice.
3. Disinfect dishes and other food contact surfaces by immersion for at least one minute in clean tap water that contains one teaspoon of unscented household bleach per gallon of water.
4. LET WATER COOL SUFFICIENTLY BEFORE DRINKING.

Water used for hand-washing or bathing does not generally need to be boiled. Supervision of children is necessary while bathing or using backyard pools so water is not ingested. Persons with cuts or severe rashes may wish to consult their physicians.

We will post another notice as soon as the water has been tested and the boil advisory is lifted for the remaining homes. If you have any questions, you may contact Teri at the office at 573-348-1758 Ext. 5 during regular business hours.

Boil Order

A well pump malfunctioned today, which affected the water tower and pressure to the water system in Tan-Tar-A Resort and Estates, Oak Creek and other areas served by the tower.  While there has not been a breach or line break, the water system operator has notified us that the areas served by the tower will be under a boil order until further notice due to the low pressure situation.

You may want to take the following precautions:

1.  Boil water vigorously for three minutes prior to use.  Use only boiled water for drinking, brushing teeth, diluting fruit juices and all other food preparations or consumption.  Use of bottled water may be a feasible, though relatively expensive, alternative to boiling tap water when under a boil water order.

2. Do not use ice from a household automatic ice-maker or use any ice made with unboiled water from this system.  Remake ice cubes with water that has been boiled or buy ice.

3. Disinfect dishes and other food contact surfaces by immersion for at least one minute in clean tap water that contains one teaspoon of unscented household bleach per gallon of water.

4. LET WATER COOL SUFFICIENTLY BEFORE DRINKING.

Water used for hand-washing or bathing does not generally need to be boiled.  Supervision of children is necessary while bathing or using backyard pools so water is not ingested.  Persons with cuts or severe rashes may wish to consult their physicians.

Artist Markets

If there is enough interest, Palisades Village would like to sponsor a set of Artist Markets again this year, leading up to the holidays. This is an opportunity for local artists and fine crafters to sell their original, artist-created works. The location will be in the Palisades Village Shopping Center at 1026 Palisades Boulevard in Osage Beach. The dates will be on Saturdays, starting October 29 and running through December 3.

All participating artists must be juried into the market in advance… they may bring samples of their artwork to the office in Palisades Village, Suite 9 for review or provide a link to a website. We will only allow original, quality, handmade artwork and crafts. There is no fee for participating, but artists will need to provide their own setups and must sign up in advance by calling Teri at 573-348-1758 x 5 or emailing her. There are a limited number of spaces available. Please contact Teri with any questions you may have.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and there are lots of ways to donate to help find a cure ... the American Cancer Society, Susan G Komen for the Cure, and The Breast Cancer Research Foundation are just a few.  If you would like to keep funds local, we saw come up in email today a "Deal of the Day" for which you can donate to the Lake Regional Cancer Center.  The "deal" is you get to help others ... and what could be better than that?
