Should I wash dishes while under a precautionary boil water notice?

If you are hand-washing dishes use hot soapy water, then use boiled water to rinse. If you are using a dishwasher it is safe to use if the hot water reaches at least 170 degrees or the dishwasher has a sanitizing cycle and includes a full dry cycle.
