Best Answer: An anion gap is the sum of routinely measured cations minus the routinely measured anions in blood. It is measured because it is often the first laboratory sign of an acid-base disorder. The normal range is 5 - 16 mmol/L.
Boil water notices are typically issued when an unexpected condition has caused a potential for biological contamination of water in a public water system. Common reasons for a boil water notice include loss of pressure in the distribution system, loss of disinfection, and other unexpected water quality problems. These often result from other events such as water line breaks, treatment disruptions, power outages and floods.
Public notification will be given when the boil water notice is lifted. Your water utility and your local Health Department office can also give you details on how long your boil water notice might last and will advise you when it is safe to return to normal water use.
