SAN DIEGO -- San Diego County health officials issued a boil water order Friday for the Rancho Santa Teresa Mutual Water Company in Ramona.The order was issued after tests confirmed the presence of total coliform bacteria in the water system, according to the San Diego County Department of Environmental Health.Total coliform bacteria can come from soils and other sources in the environment and can indicate a problem with the water supply system, according to the DEH.
The boil water order will remain in effect until the distribution system has been disinfected and additional samples confirm the absence of bacteria in the water supply, according to the DEH.
