Water should not be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes or food preparation until further notice. Water should be brought to a boil for at least one minute and allowed to cool before using.
Base officials will be closing down some housing in Prairie View Estates to fix the issue as soon as possible.
