PARK HILL – Residents of a Park Hill mobile home park were told to boil water before use Friday after E. coli was discovered in the water supply.

The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality issued the order Friday for Suburban Mobile Home Park, which is on well water near Keys. The park is the only area known to be affected by the order.

DEQ urges residents to vigorously boil water from their system for one minute before drinking it, using it in food preparation, washing dishes or brushing teeth. The boiling is to ensure the water is safe for human consumption.

The advisory will remain in effect until the water system provides adequate samples and that show the water is free from E. coli.

Residents should bring water to a full rolling boil for a minute and let it cool to room temperature before using it. Boiled or bottled water should be used until the order is lifted.

Tahlequah Public Works Authority General Manager Stan Day said Saturday that the TPWA supplies water to some Park Hill residents, but Suburban Mobile Home Park is not on the city’s system. “We have our water tested regularly, and it’s completely safe,” Day said. “There are no E. coli issues there.”
