Boil order imposed on Hemingford
August 15, 2008

The village of Hemingford, Nebraska in the northern Panhandle is under a boil order due to high levels of bacteria in the municipal water supply. Bacteria are generally killed by chlorination, ultraviolet light, or ozone, but extraordinary situations like high levels of agricultural runoff due to storms can contaminate water wells and make normal precautions inadequate. Particle counters can be a simple and inexpensive way to get early warning of bacterial breakouts when they occur.
