Residents in Raccoon and Potter townships remain under a boil water advisory after a water line break Saturday caused a loss of water pressure in the system.
Per regulations from the state Department of Environmental Protection, a boil water advisory must be issued for three days after a water system loses pressure.
Since the incident occurred Saturday, the advisory is expected to remain in effect until at least Tuesday.
According to a news release from the Municipal Water Authority of Aliquippa, an eight-inch water line broke along Green Garden Road on Saturday.
The break caused a loss of water pressure.
Repairs were made quickly and water service was restored to customers, but the boil water advisory was put into place per regulations.
An official with the water authority said Monday that the advisory remains intact, and that the agency is waiting to hear back from the DEP about when it might be lifted.
