Many people in Prichard are questioning their drinking water after Mayor Jimmy Gardner suggested a boil water notice Monday, only to later backtrack.
Mayor Gardner later said the Alabama Department of Environmental Management believed the water was safe.
At Monday’s monthly Prichard water board meeting, the room was packed with concerned customers. There was lots of debate over the Alabama Village moratorium and boil water notice. According to water board chairman Russell Heidelberg, he said he contacted ADEM around 4:15 p.m. just before the meeting, and ADEM said the water was good.Gardner said boiling your water is a ‘suggestion,’ and he encourages people to use only bottled water.“Bottled water for me, for sure,” said Sheron Gross, Prichard water customer.
Heidelberg also said tests on the water have been done, and he promised to get the people those results.Copyright 2023 WALA. All rights reserved.
