KANSAS CITY, Mo. —

Some Northland water customers are being asked to boil their water as a precaution.

KC Water said it issued a precautionary boil-water advisory to customers in the area of Northwest 64th Street to Northwest 78th Street, and North Congress Avenue to Northwest Waukomis Drive.

The cities of Platte Woods and Lake Waukomis are not included in the advisory.

The Water Department said customers may have experienced low water pressure due to water main break.

While water service has returned to normal, customers are asked to boil water for at least three minutes before using it in cooking or for drinking.
