Restaurants In Springfield Utility District Eastern District Boil Water Boundary Instructed To Cease Food Preparation -01/17/24

 

Lane County Environmental Health is instructing all restaurants within the East District boundary of the Springfield Utility Board (SUB) boil water notice area to immediately cease all food preparation and service. This area is the green area on the attached map. This instruction comes due to the possibility of potentially harmful bacteria being present in the water supply and the subsequent inability for restaurants/delis to safely prepare and serve food. The order will last until 24 hours after the boil water advisory is lifted.

Some exemptions may apply. Restaurants within the affected area who have questions regarding this notice can call their Lane County Health Inspector. Please be advised that our inspectors are facing some disruption of services. If you are unable to reach your inspector during business hours, please leave a message and they will return your call.
