A boil water advisory is in effect in Steelton for residents of the 300 block of Bessemer Street, officials said today.

A water main break has prompted the advisory, said Doug Brown, borough manager.

The water authority staff will conduct two bacteria tests over the next two days, he said. The advisory will be lifted after there are two consecutive test results with non-detectable bacteria, he said.

Residents will also be receiving hand-delivered notices notifying them of the advisory, Brown said.
