Update: The city has canceled the boil water advisory issued Aug. 29 for the streets below.

The replacement of a water main and temporary water shut-off has resulted in the city of Battle Creek issuing a boil water advisory for some residents on 24th and Goguac streets.

The advisory means that all water intended for consumption such as drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation should be boiled for one minute before use.

The affected area is:

• 24th Street – Kirkwood Avenue to Highland Boulevard

• Goguac Street – 26th Street to 23rd Street

The city said it will issue updates via local news media and the city’s website and social media. For more information, call Perry Hart at 269-966-3481 or the Verona Pumping Station at 269-966-3493.
