Boil advisory issued after water main break
Norwalk’s General Services Department has completed work on fixing a water main break on South Old State Road, between Akron and Cleveland roads.
The water main break forced the closure of Old State Road, which lasted about seven hours after workers began working in the 5’clock hour this morning.
This will affect water on at least the east side of town, city officials said.
Discoloration of the water is likely from minerals naturally found in the pipe.
Signs have been posted designating a boil advisory area.
Water samples will be taken, results for which typically take about 24 hours.
Once samples come back negative the red boil advisory signs will be changed to blue boil advisory lifted signs.
The city asked via its Facebook page that residents “send good thoughts for those city workers getting wet outside this morning to re-establish your water supply.”
Grand Prairie under boil advisory
Those living in Grand Prairie are under a boil advisory after a pipe broke today.
Grand Prairie is an unincorporated community in St. Landry Parish.
According to Parish President Bill Fontenot, the repairs have been made to the pipe, but since the water was shut off because of the break, customers must boil their water before consumption.
Samples of the water are being sent to the state’s Department of Health.
The advisory will be lifted once water samples are approved.
Fontenot is hoping the advisory will be lifted by Friday or Monday at the latest.
Boil water order lifted in Cato
A boil water order issued in the Cayuga County village of Cato has been lifted.
The Health Department said the water system lost pressure due to a water line repair.
When water mains lose pressure, it increases the chance that untreated water and harmful microbes can enter drinking water.
Harmful microbes in drinking water can cause diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches, or other symptoms and may pose a special health risk for infants, some elderly, and people with severely compromised immune systems.
The advisory was in effect since Saturday.
Prince Rupert downgrades boil water advisory, plans ‘lessons learned’ report
PRINCE RUPERT, B.C.
— The City of Prince Rupert, B.C., has lifted a boil water advisory that left 12,000 residents without potable tap water for six weeks and says it’s working on a ‘lessons learned’ report for the future.
The city says Northern Health gave it approval to downgrade the notice to a water quality advisory, which means some risk remains for sensitive individuals.
Under a water quality advisory, newborns, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are still encouraged to boil tap water for one minute before consuming it.
The city says residents who still see milky or sediment-filled water should run cold water, preferably through a bathtub or laundry sink taps, until it clears.
The boil water advisory was put in place after a dry summer followed by a storm surge caused a spike in levels of cryptosporidium and giardia, which cause intestinal illnesses.
The length of the advisory prompted Community for Clean Water, a citizen advocate group, to criticize city officials for not having a preparedness plan in place.
In August, the city applied for funding to implement a two-phased water treatment system and replace a submarine line carrying potable water from two nearby lakes.
The city says staff will work with the health authority on a "lessons learned" report in case of similar conditions in the future, and the information will be presented at a council meeting next month.
