YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio –

A boil alert has been lifted for Youngstown Water Department customers living on the East Side.

The department reported Saturday that all drinking water samples have been examined and found to be non-contaminated.

Homes and businesses east of Liberty and Early Roads lost water pressure due to a power outage Thursday morning.

Martin Luther King Elementary and P. Ross Berry Middle schools were impacted by the power outage and the low water pressure.

Youngstown Schools CEO Krish Mohip tells 21 News that he was notified about the situation late Thursday morning and was prepared to load the students on buses and take them to to a location where water and power was available.

However, Mohip says water department officials told him that power would soon be restored, and he decided to keep the schools in session.

The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency is now requiring that all cities follow this procedure for all depressurization of drinking water lines.

A subdivision near Lake Hartwell has gotten the all clear from its water utility to stop boiling tap water.

The West Anderson Water District rescinded its warning to its customers Thursday in the McClain Lake subdivision to boil tap water before consuming it.

The water system had water main break in the area Wednesday, which triggered the advisory for customers to beware until the water was tested and determined to be safe for consumption again.

District officials did not comment further Thursday afternoon, except to say the advisory was purely a precaution.

The subdivision is northwest of S.C. 24 and Whitehall Road, near the Anderson Regional Airport.

PRINCETON — West Virginia American Water has issued a precautionary boil water advisory for approximately 100 customers in Princeton following a water main break on Old Bluefield Road. The affected area includes Princeton High School, Princeton Primary School, Mercer County Technical Education Center, Princeton Health Care Center, Morningside subdivision, City View Heights and the Middlesex area including the city park.

The company says affected customers should boil their water before consumption until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms that may be present in the water. Customers are asked to bring water used for drinking, cooking, bathing and brushing teeth to a full boil for a minimum of one minute, then cool before use.

West Virginia American Water also recommends the following steps:

 

· Throw away beverages and ice cubes if made with tap water;

· Keep boiled water in the refrigerator for drinking;

· Provide pets with boiled water after cooling;

· Do not use home filtering devices in place of boiling or using bottled water; most home water filters will not provide adequate protection from microorganisms;
