B. a boil order alert

A boil order alert is typically issued by the local municipality when there is concern about the safety of the tap water due to contamination or other issues, such as flooding, that may have affected the water supply. Boiling the water before consumption helps kill off any harmful bacteria or contaminants that may be present.
