People living on the roads are experiencing periods of low pressure and outages due to a 12-inch water main break.

Periods of low or no pressure in the distribution system increases the potential for bacteria to get into the water system.

Therefore, when the water service is restored, consumers are advised to boil all water used for human consumption for one minute.

This includes water used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and food preparation.

Officials also strongly urge you to conserve water whenever possible.
