What are the expectations for a child care provider operating under a boil water order?
Depending on the type of water supply, a boil water order may be issued by DHSS, Local Public Health Agency, Department of Natural Resources, or the water supplier. A boil water order indicates that the water may not be safe for consumption. Child care providers are expected to follow boil water orders to protect children in care. If you have questions regarding a boil water order, contact us or your local public health agency.
