Boil water advisory lifted for part of North, tap water safe to use again
Waternet has lifted a boil water advisory for residents of six streets in Amsterdam-Noord following successful safety tests. The utility company confirmed that the tap water is safe to drink and recommends that residents flush their pipes to ensure system cleanliness.
Utility provider Waternet has officially lifted the boil water advisory for residents of six streets in Amsterdam-Noord. The precaution was originally issued this past Sunday due to concerns regarding the potential contamination of tap water in that specific neighborhood. Affected streets included the Simon van Woerdenstraat, Klaas Geertsplantsoen, Jouke Zietsmastraat, Leo Heijdenrijkstraat, Bastiaan Plooijstraat, and the Ludovicus Imminkpad.
Following recent safety testing, officials have confirmed that the water supply is once again clean and safe for all consumption purposes, including drinking, brushing teeth, and preparing food. While the restriction is now over, Waternet advises residents to perform a one-time flush of their internal plumbing. This recommendation involves flushing all household taps for one minute and flushing the toilet to ensure that any remaining stagnant water is completely cleared from the residential pipes.
