Xenia water customers in Minburn, still laboring under a boil order issued Sunday, received a little relief Tuesday afternoon when the Perry Fareway delivered 2,000 units of bottled water to the city for free distribution.
Fareway Manager Travis Landgrebe and Meat Department Manager Brandon Callahan delivered the donated water to the Minburn City Hall and Minburn Public Library, where residents are welcome to help themselves.
Minburn residents learned Sunday that the “extent of the problem and timing of when service will be fully restored by Xenia is unknown at this time,” according to an alert issued By Dallas County.
“Xenia Water is reporting that they have a water main break north of town,” the city of Minburn said Sunday in a Facebook post.
Minburn residents should continue to boil water before use until the Iowa Department of Natural Resources indicates that bacteria levels are within the safe range.
