SAN DIEGO–The County Department of Environmental Health has issued a Boil Water Order for the Warner Springs Ranch Resort water system.
The water system serves the Warner Springs Airport, Warner Springs Ranch Golf Grill, Post Office, and the Warner Springs Ranch Resort currently closed to the public.
The drinking water system has tested present for E.Coli and total coliform bacteria. The presence of E.Coli bacteria indicates that the water may be contaminated with human or animal wastes. Health effects can include diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches or other symptoms. E.Coli may pose a special health risk for infants, young children, some of the elderly, and people with severely compromised immune systems. Total coliform bacteria can come from soils and other sources in the environment and can indicate a problem with the water supply system.
The Boil Water Order was issued to ensure all water used is free from contamination. It will remain in effect until laboratory analytical results confirm the absence of bacteria in the water supply.
