During the course of the boil order, those living in area affected were advised to boil all water used for drinking, cooking and even water used to brush their teeth. 

They were also asked to turn off the water supply to their icemaker.  If the icemaker couldn't be turned off, residents in the affected area are asked to throw out all of the ice made until 24 hours after the boil order has been lifted.
