(KLZA)--The City of Peru has announced that beginning Monday, June 7th water will be trucked into Peru while mandatory maintenance takes place on the temporary water treatment plant and well.

As a result the city will be in a boil advisory and a stage three water emergency.

The city's supply will be trucked in from Auburn. Therefore it will be necessary to vigorously boil your water for 1 minute for drinking and cooking or to use an alternate source of water until sampling confirms that no further bacteriological contamination has occurred.

Peru Community Impact Group has donated pallets of drinking water that will be available to the public.

The city is also requiring that water conservation be practiced to ease the burden of hauling water.

During a stage three water emergency there is to be no use of outside water , car washing, all lawn/irrigation or waste of water.

The city will notify it's residents as soon as the stage is able to be lifted.
