YOUNTVILLE – The city of Yountville is providing drinking water to its residents following a cooking precaution after E. coli was discovered Thursday in the municipal water supply.
Yountville can provide residents with a limited supply of bottled water. Each water customer is limited to one gallon, which can be picked up until 5 p.m. Friday at the Community Center lobby at 6516 Washington St. and the Town Hall lobby at 6550 Yount St.
The Napa County Library and Community Center at 6516 Washington St. will provide the bottled water on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Yountville will also open a drinking water filling station and will release more information about it Friday afternoon, the city said.
To lift the boil order, CalVet – the city’s water supplier – must receive a negative test result on Friday from a sample taken Thursday afternoon, as the tests last for 24 hours. Then another test must be done on Friday, with the result on Saturday or Sunday. Then another test has to be done on Sunday and if the municipality gets a negative result on Monday, the boil can be lifted.
