Grappling with boil water advisory, residents on Navy system say they’re ‘not surprised’

The DOE said military officials erroneously announced at a community meeting that no schools would be closed Monday.

Iroquois Point is closed, the DOE added, because there is insufficient water pressure on campus to flush toilets. Water bottles have been set up at the school for drinking, hand washing and cooking.
