MOUNT ORAB, Ohio — Residents and businesses in several areas have to boil water after the village issued a water main break advisory Wednesday morning.
Officials from the Village of Mount Orab say the people in the affected areas should boil water for at least three minutes before using it.
Below is a list of the areas that are affected: Day Road, between the 100-500 block Robin Avenue Abby Lane Kelly Lane Michele Lane Lara Lane Linda Way Gracie Drive WLWT will bring you the latest information about the boil advisory as soon as it becomes available.

Residents should boil their water before consuming it, using it to wash dishes or brushing their teeth.
You can still bathe in the water.
The loss of pressure happened during routine maintenance of the village’s water tower, Village Manager Shay Gallagher told 24 Hour News 8 over the phone Monday evening.
Gallagher said that loss of pressure was the result of a mechanical failure, the cause of which is still under investigation.
Pressure was restored within half an hour.
Still, decreases in pressure can allow bacteria to enter the system, so the advisory was issued as a precaution.
The village is checking the water quality.
Gallagher said two rounds of tests will be conducted and if they both come back clean, the advisory could be lifted Thursday.
The village will have updates on its website and Facebook page.

GREENFIELD, Iowa — A bottled water advisory has been issued for the city of Greenfield due to algae in the water system.
Water in the town is not safe for drinking, cooking, or brushing teeth, and residents are urged to instead use bottled water.
The algae was detected in tests conducted earlier on Tuesday.
The city says Lake Greenfied, the source of the town’s drinking water, is currently experiencing an algae bloom.
Officials warn not to boil the water, as it will not destroy the algae and could make it become more concentrated.
The Adair County Fair begins on Wednesday, and officials are working on a plan to provide usable water for large animals being shown during the event.
Contact a veterinarian if any pets or livestock show signs of illness from drinking the affected water.
Test results are expected to come back on Wednesday afternoon, at which time officials will be able to determine a plan of how to proceed.

ljameson@lockhaven.com LOCK HAVEN — The Lock Haven City Water Department has issued a boil water advisory after a water main break occurred today.
This will effect certain areas of Castanea Township.
Areas effected are 300-401 Mackey Avenue, 2-113 Grape Street and 401-414 Jarrett Street.
Residents in these areas are at an increased risk of microbial contamination and are encouraged to boil their water before drinking it.
Bring all water to a rolling boil, let it boil for one minute and let it cool before using it or use bottled water as an alternative.
Water should be boiled for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth and food preparation until further notice.

On Friday morning, the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (DC Water) issued a precautionary boil water advisory for large areas of Washington, D.C., after a problem at the Bryant Street pump caused a drop in water pressure.
DC Water announced the pump issue on Twitter Thursday night, and the boil water advisory came about five hours later.
Among the areas affected by the advisory are: Residents who are affected by the alert are instructed to run the tap until the water turns clear if it initially comes out of the tap discolored.
Once water is clear, residents should bring water to a rolling boil for three minutes and let it cool before storing cool water in a clean container with a lid.
The cooled, boiled water should be used for drinking, brushing teeth, preparing and cooking food, making ice, preparing infant formula and giving water to pets.
Hours after the alert was posted, DC Water’s website faced loading difficulty, so the organization posted pictures of the alert and map of affected areas on Twitter.
An open valve was the root of the problem and caused a loss of pressure in portions of the distribution system, which makes it possible for contaminants to get into the water that’s delivered through the system.
The valve problem was corrected, but the boil water alert will remain in place until DC Water completes its testing of water samples to ensure it’s safe, according to the advisory.

RENSSELAER — A water main break at Fowler Avenue and Broadway Sunday has cut service to some neighboring properties.
Due to the break, the city has issued a boil water notice for: Broadway from Pine Street to Washington Avenue; Tracy Street, Forbes Avenue to Washington Avenue; Second Street from Central Avenue to Washington Avenue; First Street from Central Avenue to Washington Avenue; and Washington Avenue From Second Street to Broadway Originally, the city said the break cut water service south of I-90 is impacting most of the community.
However, the 16-inch main rupture ended up being minor.
Crews expect service will be restored in the area by Sunday night.

About 7,000 DC Water customers in Northeast were the last to get the all-clear.
After an initial test came back positive for bacteria, further results did not show such bacteria, DC Water said.
Otherwise, water use can return to normal.
Pools in the affected areas were closed, but most reopened by Sunday afternoon.
Water taken from pipes servicing those neighborhoods initially tested positive for coliform bacteria.
Further tests confirmed the water was safe leading up to the third day of the boil water advisory, which was initially put into place Friday.
DC Water said it dropped the boil water advisory for all of the other previously affected neighborhoods because all of the tests in those areas came back negative.
It’s not confirmed that the pressure issue at a pumping station that sparked the advisory caused the possible contamination, Sweeney said.
Some residents were told their water was safe later on Friday, while many residents of Northwest and Northeast woke up Saturday unable to drink water straight from the tap.
DC Water CEO David Gadis apologized Saturday that the DC Water website went down as residents logged on Friday in search of more information about the boil advisory.
