PELICAN RAPIDS, Minn. — Authorities here are advising residents to boil tap water before drinking or using it for daily needs.
The boil water advisory was put in place after repairs were made to a water main that temporarily shut down, said Don Solga, Pelican Rapids city administrator.
He said the advisory will remain in place until at least Friday morning, Oct. 19, while authorities finish testing water samples.
The advisory is in effect for about 500 homes and businesses south of First Avenue North.
The advisory suggests people boil water and use it once it has cooled for daily needs like drinking, brushing teeth, washing fruits and vegetables, feeding pets, preparing food or baby formula and making ice.
Solga said the advisory could be in place until Saturday, Oct. 20.
Residents will be notified once the advisory has been lifted, he said.
