RICHLAND OR — A heads up for anyone planning on visiting Holcomb Park in Baker County, a boil water advisory is currently in place from Baker County Parks. According to staff, the advisory is due to the failure of an ageing pump at Holcomb Park. No other areas of Baker County or the City of Richland are impacted.

Staff noted a new pump is running and water testing is already underway. As soon as a compliance notice is received, the advisory will be lifted. Staff hope to have the notice lifted by Monday, May 4.
