AVON, OH — Disease-causing organisms may have entered part of the city’s water supply, the city said Wednesday.
A water line broke on Detroit Road on Wednesday morning.

Businesses and homes on the aforementioned part of Detroit Road, and all North Star Lane residents, will need to boil their water.

People with compromised immune systems, babies and some elderly residents may be at increased risk.
The boil alert is a precautionary measure, the city said.
Subscribe However, the city also did not provide a timeline for when the water will be safe to use again.
