Boil water advisory issued in Lakeview

Residents should boil their water before consuming it, using it to wash dishes or brushing their teeth.
You can still bathe in the water.
The loss of pressure happened during routine maintenance of the village’s water tower, Village Manager Shay Gallagher told 24 Hour News 8 over the phone Monday evening.
Gallagher said that loss of pressure was the result of a mechanical failure, the cause of which is still under investigation.
Pressure was restored within half an hour.
Still, decreases in pressure can allow bacteria to enter the system, so the advisory was issued as a precaution.
The village is checking the water quality.
Gallagher said two rounds of tests will be conducted and if they both come back clean, the advisory could be lifted Thursday.
The village will have updates on its website and Facebook page.
