When a boil water advisory is issued, affected residents should not drink or use tap water to prepare food or brush their teeth without boiling it first. Bring all tap water to a boil for 1 minute, then let it cool before using. 

As an alternative, businesses and residents can arrange for bottled water in those situations. 

About 3,700 people live in Romeo.
