FAR uses surface runoff that is collected in an underground reservoir, then treated. The CoF is in the midst of a multi million dollar water works upgrade that I believe will alleviate the turbidity problem. For your peace of mind there has been no giardia or outbreaks of other water borne pathogens for over a decade as evidenced by no cases reported to the local hospital or health authorities. The boil water advisories are put into effect as a cover your ass policy just incase somebody gets sick. I believe most citizens ignore the boil water advisories. However that doesn’t mean I condone not boiling, (cya in effect).
