KAUKAUNA, Wis. (WBAY) — A boil/bottle water advisory is in affect in the City of Kaukauna.
Officials say a construction related water main break caused the system to lose pressure.
City leaders say all areas south of the Fox River are potentially affected.
Officials say any ice, food, or beverages prepared with unsafe water must be discarded.
Residents should boil or use commercially bottled water for drinking, food preparation, and making ice.
Water should be heated to a rolling boil for at least one minute before use.
Ice should also be made from boiled or bottled water.
City officials say they have isolated the water main break and have restored pressure to the areas affected.
Crews have begun flushing the water mains and the storage facilities in the area that lost pressure to remove potentially contaminated water and to reestablish the disinfectant residuals in these areas.
City leaders say they will continue to do this for two days until the DNR notifies the city that the boil/bottled water advisory is no longer necessary.
