Considerations for maintaining safe water quality in oral health clinics Ensure water used in dental unit waterlines meets the EPA’s minimum standards for safe drinking water (≤ 500 CFU/mL). This is done through testing. Develop a procedure for treating water. Have a plan in place in the event of a boil water advisory. Under a boil water advisory, avoid using the water for dental procedures or in dental unit waterlines. Other activities, such as performing hand hygiene and environmental cleaning or instrument sterilization should also be avoided. Alcohol-based hand rub is an appropriate alternative if hands are not visibly soiled. Bottled and distilled water can be during this time. See the CDC Guidelines for Infection Control in Dental Health Care Settings (2003) and Emergency Water Supply Planning Guide for Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities for more information. Wisconsin Department of Health says: Ensure water used in dental unit waterlines meets the EPA’s minimum standards for safe drinking water (≤ 500 CFU/mL). Develop a procedure for treating water. After two consecutive passing tests, consider moving to quarterly testing (every 90 days).
