Boil water advisory remains in effect for many in Lackawanna County

Boil water advisory remains in effect for many in Lackawanna County.
A boil water advisory remains in place for nearly 50,000 Pennsylvania American Water customers in Lackawanna County.
Repair crews slowly refilled the system with water Sunday after a main line break in Dunmore on Saturday cut off water supply, discolored water and caused low pressure in Scranton, Dunmore, and the Midvalley and Abingtons regions.
Customers should continue to bring water to a rolling boil, let it boil for one minute, and then cool before drinking, cooking, washing dishes and brushing their teeth.
The boil advisory will remain in effect until further notice, she said.
Here are the locations: • Dunmore: Monahan Avenue (near Big Lots), West Pine Street, Dunmore High School and Mill Street.
2 Engine Company fire house at Pittston Avenue and Gibbons Street.
• Blakely: borough building.
• Clarks Summit: fire department.
