Update: Wilson Elementary School and 9 additional addresses have been added to the advisory.

As a result, MWC says there could be harmful bacteria present in the lines.
As a precaution, residents living in these homes should use bottled water or boil water for 1 full minute, allow to cool before using and store in a clean container with a cover.
The MWC advises customers to use that boiled water for drinking, brushing teeth, washing fruits and vegetables, preparing food and baby formula, making ice and cleaning food contact surfaces.
The MWC said they have notified school officials.
The school said they will provide bottled water for students and staff tomorrow, and meals will be prepared off-sight at North Medford High School and transferred to Wilson.
Officials say it may be as long as 24 to 36 hours before test results are available to show if the water is safe.
