The City of Kalamazoo has issued a precautionary boil water order for a small area on the southwest side of the city.The order follows a water main break. The area  affected is all of Sunvalley and the 4000 to 4100 block of Madison.

The city says the “advisory is precautionary only; there have not been any confirmed tests showing bacteria present in the water main at the location of the break.  Initial sampling results will be available within 24 hours of its collection and the final set within 48 hours. It is expected that the advisory will be lifted within 72 hours.”
