Summary
In April 2015, Beaver Island Airport Manager Rachel Teague reported that the airport’s drinking-water use was being restricted as a precaution after work to address a frozen line. She said the water would be used again after the ground thawed and the well could be properly chlorinated, and that bottled water was available in the interim.
Evidence limits
This record relies on the airport manager’s contemporaneous forum clarification. It does not establish that contamination occurred, identify a test result, or document a later reopening date.

- After a question about airport water safety, Beaver Island Airport Manager Rachel Teague explained that a previously frozen water line led to a precautionary restriction on drinking water until the ground thawed and the well could be properly chlorinated. She described the airport as a noncommunity public water supply, said bottled water was available, and explained prior health-department concerns about the outdoor hydrant. The thread contains conflicting speculation and personal argument; only the manager’s attributed clarification is used here.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 08 · t008565
