The town of Copan and surrounding areas continue to be under a water boil order.

 The order was first issued June 15th because of water line re-routing at the Copan water plant and shallow water levels in wells that caused effluent levels to exceed expectations.

 An update issued yesterday from the town of Copan says they are unsure how long the boil order will last, but hope it won’t be too much longer. Water customers are advised to boil water for at least one minute before consuming, cooking or washing dishes.

 The boil order includes the town of Copan, Rural Water Districts #7 and #20, as well as Washington Cove campground at Copan Lake.
