DAVENPORT, IA (November 13, 2022) – Iowa American Water is extending a precautionary boil water advisory for all customers located in the affected areas of West Davenport and Blue Grass.

Iowa American Water issued a boil advisory as a precaution and notified the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) on Saturday. Impacted customers are those on North and South Lincoln Road north to W. Kimberly Road and south to W. River Drive in Davenport and west to the City of Blue Grass.
Initial tests results received late this afternoon confirmed water samples collected Saturday afternoon met all federal and state water quality regulations, however, at the guidance of the IDNR, Iowa American Water will collect and test additional water samples over the next 48 hours as a safeguard for customers prior to lifting the advisory.
