Municipal Water Utility Company FAQ

For more information on your municipal water, visit the U.S. CDC:
Fergus Falls Municipal Water Company and CDCWhy does my water appear cloudy or milky?
The cloudy appearance is typically caused by harmless air bubbles. This commonly occurs when air is introduced into water lines during repairs. During winter months, cold water from outdoor pipes enters your warm home, causing dissolved oxygen to release as tiny bubbles. These bubbles should dissipate quickly, but if cloudiness persists, contact us as your lines may need flushing.
Can a water meter register incorrectly?
Water meters don't over-register - they simply stop registering when malfunctioning. All meters are factory-tested for accuracy before installation.
What is a boil water advisory?
A boil water advisory is typically issued when water pressure falls below safe levels, often during pipe repairs. This advisory means all water used for drinking or cooking should be brought to a rolling boil for at least three minutes. Water for other purposes doesn't require boiling. During major repairs, Fergus Falls Water District notifies residents through:
- Local TV channels
- Regional news channels
- Local radio stations
What's the difference between a boil water advisory and a boil water notice?
A boil water notice is more serious than an advisory. While an advisory is precautionary, a notice means bacterial contamination exceeds national standards. This doesn't necessarily indicate immediate illness risk but signals elevated coliform levels. The elderly, very young, and immunocompromised individuals face higher risks. Symptoms may include stomach discomfort, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever.
How do I read my water meter?
Your meter is typically located in your front yard near the street in a black plastic or concrete box. Lift the reading lid carefully. Read the numbers from left to right like a car odometer. For billing purposes, we read in 10-gallon increments. The small rotating circle (often red) is the leak indicator - any movement when no water is being used suggests a leak.
