An emergency water main repair on Edwards Street, near Degroff Street, has caused a temporary boil water advisory for the residents listed above. To isolate the repair area, Public Services needs to close other valves, which is why the affected area may seem broader than the actual repair site. We do our best to keep interruptions as limited as possible and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. Please refer to the following schedule for information regarding the boil water advisory effective Monday, May 6, 2024.

BOILING WATER BEFORE USE: Bring tap water to a rolling boil, boil for one minute, and cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth, and preparing food until further notice. Please find additional information on safely consuming water during a boil water advisory at https://www.cdc.gov/healthywater/emergency/drinking/drinking-water-advisories/boil-water-advisory.html.
DISCOLORATION: When water service is restored, it is not uncommon to experience slight discoloration in the water coming out of your tap. It is caused by natural sediment and minerals that have come loose in pipes from pressure changes. The discoloration can be flushed by waiting approximately 30 minutes for crews to stop work, or move from the area, then run cold water in a sink or bathtub until clear.
