A boil water advisory remains in effect in the borough following a water main break that was repaired late Tuesday.
"We’re expecting water samples to be taken (Wednesday) or Thursday, and it takes 24 hours for those results to come back," said Mayor John Morgan.
Until those results are known, he said, the boil water advisory will remain in effect.
The advisory will be lifted once the results confirm the water is safe for drinking.
The break, which was reported early Tuesday morning, affected the the area along Route 206 north of the borough fire department as well as the portions of Lindley Court and Limecrest Road within the borough.
The break occurred near 179 Main St. on Route 206.
Emergency workers arrived on the scene shortly afterward at around 10:30 a.m.
The break was repaired shortly before 5 p.m. Borough Clerk Beth Brothman estimated that about 36 homes and business were affected.
The advisory states that affected residents should "bring tap water to a rolling boil for five to ten minutes and allow to cool before using for consumption, drinking, ice cubes, washing vegetables and fruit and for brushing teeth."
