Residents are urged to boil tap water before cooking, drinking, preparing foods, mixing baby formula, washing vegetables and fruit, making ice, brushing teeth and washing dishes.
Borough administrator Ralph Blakeslee said contractors began work on the project Monday morning, but he could not state an estimated time of completion.
Blakeslee added he would try to post updates on the borough Facebook page when available.
However, there is the potential threat to the quality of water being provided to you during construction.
The borough advised residents of the advisory via social media posts on Friday morning, and by Nixle alert and its public alert system on Sunday.
Police also issued an alert on Sunday.
"We did that on Sunday because we figured that was the time that people would most likely be home," Blakeslee said.
Blakeslee said borough officials advised the school district and school officials said they were prepared to cope with the advisory.
Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking; preparing foods; mixing baby formula, food, juices or drinks; washing vegetables and fruit; cooking; making ice; brushing teeth; and washing dishes until further notice.
Keep boiled water in the refrigerator for drinking.
