Marshfield boil order

A boil order has been issued for the city of Marshfield. The boil order will likely last for a few days, according to city officials. Around 6:15 Thursday evening, the Marshfield drinking water system lost pressure due to a failure in the automated system that controls when the city’s three drinking water wells turn on and off. The water main lost pressure, increasing the chance that untreated water and harmful microbes can enter your drinking water system, thus triggering the mandatory boil order. Marshfield residents are asked to boil their water for 3 minutes before using it.
