KALAMAZOO, MI — A precautionary boil-water advisory has been lifted from the area of Sunvalley Drive in northeastern Kalamazoo.
“As of Thursday, Dec. 29, 2016, at 3 p.m., the precautionary boil water advisory issued Dec. 27, 2016. has been lifted by the city of Kalamazoo, in cooperation with the Kalamazoo County Health and Community Services Department,” city officials reported in a press release.
The advisory was issued Tuesday following a water main break that day on Sunvalley Drive, located west of Oakland Drive and north of Angling Road. Workers responded to a break in a 20-foot section of pipe along Sunvalley Drive.That is in the Oakwood Neighborhood near the Hill N’ Brook area.
The affected area included all of Sunvalley Drive and the 4000 to 4100 blocks of Madison Street, which are just west and north of Sunvalley.
“Citizens in the affected area … can now use city water for consumption as well as all other purposes,” officials stated in a press release. “Bacteriological sampling within the affected area verified that the water is safe to drink.”
They thanked affected residents, businesses and institutions for their cooperation and understanding.
While the Mohawk Valley Water Authority crews repair a large water main break, water service will be interrupted for several hours, the authority said at 4 p.m. Friday.
The break is on a 12-inch transmission main line off Tilden Avenue in New Hartford and is located over 1/4 mile from a road in an area that makes repairs difficult, a news release said.
When water is restored later this evening, a boil water advisory will be in effect. During this time, customers are advised to boil their water for at least two minutes before using it for drinking or cooking. The following areas will be impacted:
– New Hartford: 2-15 Taber Road, Taber Lane, 1790-2949 Tilden Ave., 1711 and higher Sherman Drive, Sherman Lane, Sherman Circle, South Hills Drive, Wadsworth Lane, Wadsworth Lane East, Wadsworth Road, Westwood Lane.
– Frankfort: 1360-2807 Graffenburg Road, Harts Drive, Hayes Road, Salisbury Drive.
The boil water advisory will be in effect for the affected areas for between 24 and 48 hours until lab testing confirms the advisory can be lifted, officials said.
Customers are also advised against using any water that appears cloudy or discolored — especially hot water, since such usage will draw the water into the hot water tank, which may require customers to flush their tank once clear water becomes available.
Customers should also avoid washing their clothes in discolored water, since it may contain sediments that could permanently stain their laundry.

The advisory is necessary until water samples can be tested by the State.

SOUTHPORT, NC (WECT) –
A water main break in Brunswick County is causing system pressure and traffic issues for some in the Southport and Oak Island areas.
Authorities say the ruptured line is in the 4200 block of Long Beach Road. Oak Island officials said Long Beach Road between Fish Factory Road and Vanessa Drive has been closed. Motorists should seek an alternate route at this time.
Due to the break, customers of Brunswick County Public Utilities on Long Beach Road from the intersection of Fish Factory Road to Vanessa Drive, and Old Bridge Road from Vanessa Drive to 3926 Old Bridge Road are experiencing low pressure and outages.
Periods of low or no pressure in the distribution system increases the potential for back siphonage and introduction of bacteria
Therefore, Brunswick County Public Utilities and the Division of Water Resources advises that consumers boil all water used for human consumption (including drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and food preparation) or use bottled water.
Vigorous boiling for one (1) minute should kill any disease-causing organisms that may be present in the water.
This advisory remains in effect until further written notification is issued.
