Boil notice issued for Gold Hill water Wednesday Oct 19, 2016 at 5:19 PM Oct 20, 2016 at 12:12 PM Nick Morgan Mail Tribune @mtcrimebeat The mayor of Gold Hill is advising residents to boil water before drinking it in the wake of several waterline breaks that are being repaired. Breaks were reported in three places about 1 p.m. today, according to Mayor Jan Fish. As of 5 p.m., crews had repaired one broken pipe. Some areas are experiencing reduced water pressure while crews work on the repairs, Fish said. Drinking water will be available in City Hall tomorrow, according to Fish. Fish said she hopes the water will be drinkable by Friday. The water is not chlorinated, and tests to determine whether the water is safe to drink take 24 hours.  "They will be chlorinating the system in the morning," Fish said.
