Guam - Residents living in the Santa Ana area of Agat should continue to boil their water. The Guam Waterworks Authority issued a Boil Water Notice on Friday evening after distribution samples were found to contain fecal coliform bacteria. 

The boil water notice advisory is for residents living in the Santa Ana area from the village's transfer station to residents living near the Santa Ana lower storage tank.  Residents should boil their water for at least one minute before using it wash dishes, prepare food or brush your teeth. 

GWA and the Guam EPA continue to investigate the situation and are conducting additional testing this weekend.
