Officials in Dayton, Ohio, say it seems the safety of the city’s water wasn’t compromised during a major water main break last week that led to a boil-water advisory affecting some 100,000 people.
Dayton’s water department director, Michael Powell, tells the Dayton Daily News that the advisory was precautionary.
He says subsequent testing indicates the water quality wasn’t harmed or unsafe.
Crews located a water-line leak last Thursday under the Great Miami River, but high water levels hindered repair work and efforts to determine what caused the break.
Powell says the city will analyze what happened to identify whether other parts of the water system might be at risk of similar problems and to work to prevent such issues.

Chris Gadd, USA TODAY NETWORK – Tennessee Customers using the Vanleer Water Works system are under advisory ”effective immediately and until further notice” to boil their tap water due to pipe breaks during the storm yesterday, according to local emergency management officials.
Staff with the Dickson County Emergency Management Agency and other Vanleer volunteers are handing out bottled water Sunday at the Vanleer Fire Department.
EMA Director Rob Fisher said the Vanleer Water Works system “took some hits” with several underground water main breaks in the last 24 hours.
The water mains remain under water due to the heavy rainfall last week and are delaying crews ability to repair the water lines, Fisher said.
He said water from the system, which serves over 1,000 customers in Dickson County as well as Montgomery and Houston counties, might not be usable for 3-4 days.
First, repairs must be made, then the system will be backflushed and prepared for use again, Fisher said.
