Baleville residents must boil their water
Baleville residents must boil their water.
A mudslide on State Route 105 that blocked traffic Wednesday was followed by an announcement by the City of South Bend that they experienced a “major water main break” near the site of the slide in the Baleville neighborhood.
The city told KXRO that while a repair on the system was implemented, the loss of pressure in the system may have led to contamination of the water.
“When pressure loss occurs, contamination from the environment or from human or animal waste can be drawn into the water system.
Microbes in these wastes can cause short-term health effects, such as diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches, or other symptoms.” They say that “Even if you didn’t lose water pressure, your tap water may still be contaminated.” The City says that they have issued the Boil Water Advisory for the approximately 100 residents in the Baleville area only.
The advisory is in place until Saturday, September 16th at 6 pm.
If you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to contact South Bend City Hall at 360-875-5571

Many Missed Royalton Boil Water Order
Many Missed Royalton Boil Water Order.
Cross-contamination was unlikely because the new sewer line was not yet active, but a boil notice was required anyway, they said.
South Royalton residents offered mixed reviews of town officials’ efforts to get the word out, with some business owners saying they wished they had been directly notified by the water district.
Officials at some of the town’s major institutions said they had received direct notice, however.
“They’ve let us know what’s going on,” Dean Stearns, principal of the South Royalton School, said in a phone message Wednesday.
“South Royalton School seems to be coping with the need very well,” Stearns said, noting that potable water jugs were set up by all school drinking fountains and that the school had received donations of drinking water from residents.
Over at Vermont Law School, spokeswoman Maryellen Apelquist said the Royalton Water Department had directly notified the school, which shared the order with all students, faculty and staff.
Royalton Selectboard members on Wednesday said they had heard of the boil water notice just before their scheduled meeting on Tuesday, but said supervision of the water district was not their purview.
But later that evening, he followed up by email, saying a water district official had called to notify him, she said.
“I have to make an assumption that they called all the users, but if there’s an issue I didn’t know about it,” Conrad said, adding that the Prudential Committee, not the Selectboard, oversees the water district.

PWSA customers say bills are way too high
PWSA customers say bills are way too high.
He wants to know what’s going on with the water bills on his street, including his daughter’s, which went up $80 this month, his neighbor’s, which jumped more than $60 and the bill at the bar he used to own that nearly doubled.
Anesin told Channel 11 their usage hasn’t changed.
“July and August are the two slowest months of the year over there, and it just don’t seem right," Anesin said.
For more than a year now, 11 Investigates has been reporting on issues plaguing the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority, including billing issues.
He and his other neighbors worry the sky-high bills stem from a nearby water leak that wasn’t fixed for several months and crews flushing hydrants on their street around the PWSA’s boil water advisory.
Even though neighbors think the hydrant flushing has something to do with their bill increases, when Channel 11 checked with the PWSA, they said that’s not the case."
11 Investigates later heard from the PWSA about the review of those bills.
Last week, just up Route 28 in Millvale, 11 Investigates dug into problems PWSA is having there.
Millvale residents had to boil their water an extra five days because of inconsistent chlorine tests after problems with a reservoir affected much of the North Side and Reserve Township.
Hurricane Irma: North Brevard customers wait for water
Hurricane Irma: North Brevard customers wait for water.
BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – Cocoa water customers continue to deal with a boil water warning, as the utility company tries to restore water to all 82,000 customers.
The National Guard also distributed water in other locations in the county, and will continue to do so until supplies run out.
Read: Here’s where to get free bottled water Wednesday in Central Florida As the water is distributed, Cocoa Utilities is working overtime to restore both water and pressure to all of its customers.
Pressures are also fluctuating around Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach.
"We kind of started on one side of the system and as we were able to get pressure, we kind of moved to the next zone," Cocoa Utilities Director Jack Walsh said.
Cocoa Utilities said water conservation among restored customers will help them establish better pressure for customers just coming back online.
If the water pressure gets too low, it could hold up the entire process of getting the water back on, Walsh said.
"If the pressures happen to go or dip near the 20 psi limit, it could jeopardize the whole system and we start the whole process over again of testing," he said.
If they don’t, it may prompt a boil-water advisory.

As recovery and cleanup efforts continue after Hurricane Irma, water in several areas might still be unsafe for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, making ice or washing dishes without boiling it first.
Residents are fine showering and doing laundry with tap water if they are under a boil-water order, but they should keep water out of their eyes and mouth.
Here’s an updated look at affected areas as of Wednesday: Still under boil-water advisory: Davie, Dania Beach, Hollywood, Miramar, Pembroke Pines, West Park Boil-water advisory lifted: Pahokee, Canal Park What to do: Boil water for at least one minute before using.
If boiling is not possible, water can be disinfected by adding eight drops of plain, unscented bleach per gallon of water and letting it stand for 30 minutes before drinking.
If the water remains cloudy after 30 minutes, repeat the procedure.
