Boil water advisory extended for Aspinwall.
ASPINWALL, Pa. — A boil water advisory remains in effect for Aspinwall on Wednesday.
Maintenance took a pump offline as part of routine maintenance around 1 Wednesday morning.
Crews had a hard time restarting it.
Will Pickering of Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority said this is a PWSA line.
Pickering said it is common for water to come out brown for a short period of time after restarting a pump that’s been down for a while.
The advisory has been extended until Thursday to allow time for water testing by Aspinwall Borough.
Lang is optimistic the water will come back clean Thursday morning.
For the time being, residents are encouraged to boil any water they might consume, directly or indirectly.
Bathing, Lang added, is okay.
