GRAND LEDGE, MI (WILX) — A water main break on South Street in Grand Ledge has initiated a boil water alert as of noon on May 17.
The break has affected water pressure for residents on Brookside Drive, Gretchen Lane, and at Beagle Elementary School.
That includes the concession facilities at Grand Ledge public schools track and ball fields.
The city is on the boil water advisory until further notice.
When you have a boil water advisory you will want to bring your tap water to a rolling boil on the stove, 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.
Grand Ledge city officials say they are working with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to monitor the situation.
The city plans on providing an update on the situation by 12:00 PM on Sunday, May 20, after receiving results from the required DEQ testing.
Sidenote – 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.

Interior Health lifted the Boil Water Notice late Thursday for user in the Beaver Falls Waterworks District.
The boil water advisory was also in effect for Montrose as some homes are being supplemented by the Beaver Falls district while work is underway on the village’s water reservoirs.
Notably, Montrose still has a Water Quality Advisory in place.
Chief Administrative Officer Larry Plotnikoff says the advisory is in place until the reservoir job is completed, which will likely be on Friday, May 18.
For those with weakened immune systems and/or wanting additional protection, a Water Quality Advisory recommends users to take precautions when drinking, washing fruits and vegetables, making beverages or ice, and when brushing teeth.
Boil water rapidly for at least one minute, or use an alternate, safe source of water.
Beaver Falls Waterworks District conducts full spectrum water testing in accordance with the “Guidelines for the Canadian Drinking Water Quality Summary Table.” Testing is done for total coliform (disease-causing bacteria) and E. Coli counts on a weekly basis.
The samples are sent to an independent laboratory that completes the bacteriological testing, and any adverse results are reported directly by the laboratory to Interior Health as well as Beaver Falls Waterworks District.
This additional reporting is a provincial requirement, and provides extra protection for ratepayers.
Every three years it is a requirement by Interior Health to complete a Full Comprehensive Test for Water Analysis.

Officials say this is due to a break in a water main within the system.

The advisory will remain in place until the main has been fixed and samples have been clear by DHH.

From Local Sources JASPER — The Jasper Water Department has issued a boil order on the southeast side of the city for residential and business customers.
A boil water advisory is issued when some type of event has created the potential for contamination to enter the water supply.
The affected area includes A Street, B Street, C Street, E Street, Hillbrook Road, Raymond Street, Highland Street, St. James Avenue, Hill Road, Energy Drive and Third Avenue from Liberty Street to Meridian Road.
Jasper Water customers in the impacted neighborhood should bring water used for drinking, coffee, tea, powdered drinks, fountain drinks, ice, brushing teeth and washing dishes to a full boil for at least five minutes before consuming.
Cool and aerate the boiled water by pouring it through the air from one clean container to another, or mixing rapidly with a clean utensil.
Aeration will reduce the flat taste caused by boiling.
Note that water filtering or treatment units will not remove all of the possible contaminants that the order is targeting and dishwashers do not reach a temperature high enough to remove all of the possible contaminants.
The boil order will remain in affect until two samples of water from the site taken over a 48-hour period pass contamination tests.

Residents who experienced an interruption in their water service or low water pressure due to an unexpected main break on Monday, May 14 are asked to boil their water vigorously for at least one full minute prior to drinking or cooking, until further notice.

YORK COUNTY, Pa.– A boil water advisory has been issued for certain Newberry Township residents.
A loss of positive water pressure is a signal of the existence of conditions that could allow contamination to enter the distribution system through back-flow by back‑pressure or back-siphonage.
As a result, there is an increased chance that the water may contain disease-causing organisms.
DO NOT DRINK THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST.
These symptoms, however, are not caused only by organisms in drinking water, but also by other factors.
These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.
