Residents living on Anderson Crescent and 21st Avenue South, between 2nd Street South and 2nd Street North including the apartment buildings adjacent to Victoria Avenue and 2nd Street North are the only people affected by the boil water notice. All other residents on municipal water are not affected by this notice.

All residents affected were notified by City staff Sunday evening. Interior Health has been notified and is monitoring the situation closely in conjunction with Public Works water crews.

Those residents affected by this boil water notice MUST boil their water for at least one (1) minute or use an alternate, safe source of water until further notice.

This includes all water use for brushing teeth, drinking, bathing, and washing fruits and vegetables and for cleaning.

Water samples are being taken at various locations in the affected area and have been sent to an independent lab for analysis. The boil water notice will remain in effect until lifted by Interior Health.

The City of Cranbrook and Interior Health appreciate the patience and understanding of those residents affected by this boil water notice. The public will be notified when conditions change.

Residents in a section of North Ocean Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale can expect issues with their water service beginning Monday and are advised to boil their water as a precaution, city officials said.

The boil water notice is in effect until crews finish repairing a water line in the 2200 block of North Ocean Boulevard and a bacteriological survey shows the water is safe to drink in the area, city officials said.

Residents are advised that all water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth or washing dishes should be boiled. A rolling boil of one minute is sufficient, city officials said.

The northbound lanes of A1A (North Ocean Boulevard), are expected to be closed from Northeast 21st Street to Northeast 23rd Street through Monday night. Traffic is being diverted and motorists are asked to seek alternate routes.

Repairs to a 6-inch water main in the 300 block of Bolton Avenue have resulted in the need for a boil water advisory, according to Utility Director Michael Marcotte.

Because water pressure was lost during the repair process, the water in the affected area may have been compromised.

As a precaution, the Alexandria Water Department is issuing a boil advisory effective immediately. This boil advisory is to remain in effect until otherwise noted.

CORRY — Businesses were asked to close, school classes have been cancelled, and support from across northwestern Pennsylvania and the state has poured into this city in response to a major water emergency as a boil water advisory remains in effect until, at least, Thursday.

Corry’s mayor, though, says a Sunday afternoon water main repair — the third such repair since Friday morning — may have put the city’s depleted reservoir and water system on a path to restoration.

The problem was noticed early Friday morning.

“We started with two water main breaks,” Corry Mayor Charlie Campbell told The Herald in a phone interview Sunday evening, after a long weekend of little sleep.

The Corry water system services “about 7,500 people” on approximately 3,200 accounts in Corry, Wayne Township to the north and west, and Columbus Township to the north and east, Campbell said.

A boil water advisory was issued as “a precautionary thing,” Campbell said.

City crews managed to locate the two broken water mains about 2,000 feet apart, Friday afternoon, along state Route 6, which slices across the city’s north end. The breaks were repaired around 10 p.m.

Those repairs, however, did not stop a continued loss of water from the city system.

On Saturday morning, it was all hands on deck, as even less water was detected in the system than immediately following the two Friday repairs, according to Campbell.

“Every employee we have, volunteers, and off-duty police and fire fighters came in,” Campbell said, adding that a “huge survey” of the city was then conducted to determine the source of the continued problem.

One such determination did not prove to be the solution.

Water was shut off to an approximate one-block area around the water reservoir, which, Campbell explained, was essentially the Myers Greene apartment complex.

The 3-million gallon reservoir was “completely dry.”

The Crawford County Emergency Management Agency brought cases of bottled water for the residents living in those apartments.

Bottled water donations came in from business in the Erie area, as well as from local businesses to help those affected — the donations funneling through the local Salvation Army.

Another truckload of bottled water is possibly being shipped into the city, Tuesday, Campbell said.

When Sunday morning rolled around, the scope of the problem became more clear.

“Sunday morning,” said Campbell, “we got up and realized we were worse off than we’d thought.”

The Conelway Regional Emergency Management Agency, of which Corry is a member, along with the Department of Environmental Protection, the state Department of Health, and the Erie County Emergency Management Agency all descended on Corry to assist.

Around 11 a.m., the third broken main was discovered.

It was found, Campbell said, right between the two that were repaired Friday.

After that repair was made, water was turned back on to every Corry water customer, around 4 p.m.

For customers at higher elevations, Campbell said, the water levels are “creeping back up.”

In order for the water customers at the Myers Greene apartment complex, and those living in higher elevations, the reservoir must contain enough water to measure 3 feet in depth.

As of Sunday night, the water measured only about 1 1/2 feet deep.

By this morning, the mayor expects all customers to be supplied with water.

The boil water advisory, however, will have to remain in effect until Thursday, at the very earliest.

According to Campbell, the Department of Environmental Protection mandates two water tests be conducted 24 hours apart in order to lift the boil water advisory.

While the water system is apparently replenishing after the third repairs, the DEP has advised the city not to test the water, today, but, rather, to wait until Tuesday when the situation is stabilized.

The second test would be conducted Wednesday, and results, Campbell said, would be expected back Thursday.

The Corry Area School District announced on its website Sunday afternoon that today’s classes would be cancelled, along with “all other activities.”

If the district elects to reopen Tuesday, Campbell anticipates a large amount of donated water to be available for students and faculty until the boil water advisory is lifted.

“We expect, by [this] morning, everyone should have water,” Campbell said.

While it may not ever be known what, exactly, caused the break, Campbell noted the city’s aging infrastructure.

“It’s an absolutely aging infrastructure,” he said, noting some pipes in the network date back to the 1890s, with a mix of “all kinds of different pipes.”

The community, between business owners, residents, volunteers and staff, Campbell said, has come together in the face of the problem.

“It’s been amazing,” Campbell said of the response effort.
