Video WARE, Mass.
(WWLP) – Ware residents are going on their 5th day of having to boil water but the advisory could be lifted as early as Thursday.
Although the town is still urging all residents to boil their water, the advisory could be lifted as early as Thursday, after test results come back.
Ware Town Manager Stuart Beckley told 22News, "Those will be back by tomorrow, which is Thursday, and if they come back negative, then the DEP will tell us how to proceed from there."
Schools in town are also taking precautionary measures.
Residents are urged to boil the water for at least a minute.
Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, food preparation, and brushing teeth.
I haven’t noticed any difference in that.
Many businesses, like Dunkin Donuts have had to close in Ware, due to the advisory.
