Boil Water Notice for Gill Water System
- Killian has had a boil water advisory for over three weeks due to brown, silty water affecting about 1,000 people amid state fines and resident complaints.
- The advisory followed a bacterial sample and unresolved infrastructure issues, although state tests mostly found no harmful bacteria, triggering calls for $730,000 in repairs and emergency aid.
- Officials opened the well on May 1 for inspection and found no structural damage, but a later test indicated possible harmful bacteria, keeping tensions high among leaders and residents.
- Health officials ordered the town to replace a temporary pump and restore the well’s sanitary seal by Friday, noting the positive bacterial test likely resulted from the open well and prior disinfection efforts.
- The situation highlights ongoing maintenance neglect and funding challenges as leaders seek state help while residents demand transparency, with the boil water advisory and daily fines continuing until water safety is assured.
