Dec 19, 2025 | 10:48 AM

Service has been restored to all but four customers following a water main leak in Walsh, while a boil-water order is in effect for the rest of the community.

The order is to have customers bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute before using it for drinking, brushing teeth, washing raw foods, and making ice.

The fire hall will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. to pick up bottled water.

Cypress County issued the advisory on Friday at 8 a.m. that water was unavailable in Walsh.

The leak had prompted emergency crews from Cypress County to attend the hamlet as they worked to restore water services to the community.
