To properly boil tap water for drinking, cooking or food preparation, you should heat water until bubbles come up quickly and continue boiling it for one minute.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urges people to boil water or use bottled water for drinking, brushing teeth, washing and preparing food and baby formula, making ice and drinking water for pets.
The city says that once the advisory is lifted, flush all faucets for a minimum of two minutes before using for drinking or preparing food.
