This incident has caused the City to issue a boil water advisory until further notice.
The boil water advisory applies to Grand Ledge residents on Brookside Drive and Gretchen Lane, at Beagle Elementary School, and the concession facilities at the GLPS track and ball fields.
Before you use any water you must boil it.
Here are the procedures: Bring tap water to a rolling boil, boil for one minute, and cool before using, or use bottled water.
Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth, and preparing food until further notice.
The City of Grand Ledge is working with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to monitor the situation.
The City will provide an update on the situation by 12:00 PM on Sunday, May 20, 2018, upon receiving results from the required DEQ testing.
The Saturday, May 19, Relay for Life of Eaton County event to be held at Beagle Elementary School will proceed as scheduled.
The school facilities, including restrooms inside Beagle, are fully functional, however, tap water cannot be consumed.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own bottled water.
