(KLZA)--A boil water order has been issued for the city of Humboldt, Nebraska.
The city said in a release Saturday that the boil order was issued because E. coli was found at the point-of-entry into the city's public water system.
Residents are told to boil the water they use for drinking or food preparation for one minute prior to use or to use bottled water until further notice.
E coli are bacteria whose presence indicates that the water may be contaminated with human or animal wastes. Human pathogens in these wastes can cause short term effects, such as diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches or other symptoms. They may pose greater health risks for infants, young children, some of the elderly and people with severely compromised immune systems.
The city says they will continue to test the system to confirm there is no contamination.
