UPDATE: Boil Water on Reed, Worth, Industrial Park Road LIFTED

Update as of 8/16 at 8:01 a.m.: This Boil Water Notice has been lifted. Lab testing found no contamination.

=======================

Water system personnel are responding to a water leak under Worth Avenue, near Main Street.

While repairs are underway, water will be off to some customers on Reed Street/Worth Avenue/Industrial Park Road between Gorman Avenue and 11th Street. (The approximate area is shown in red on the below map.)

Tonight’s weather may slow repair time.

After repairs are complete and service has been restored, a Boil Water Notice will be in effect for these customers. The earliest that laboratory testing can be completed and the notice lifted is Tuesday, August 16.

Boil Water Notices are issued out of an abundance of caution because positive pressure has been lost and the possibility of contamination exists, not because contamination has been detected. The presence or absence of contamination must be confirmed by an independent lab through a testing process that requires at least 24 hours after delivery of a sample. Samples cannot be taken until the leak has been repaired and service has been restored. Samples can only be submitted during business hours.

Notification will be sent out when the Boil Water Notice is lifted. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your patience during this time.
