Homes and apartments with water service from the O Ave water main between these boundaries will not have service for the duration of required repairs.
The release goes on to explain that “even when water service is restored very quickly, as it will be to most residences within this area, the DNR requires that a boil order be issued for residents who lose pressure.
These microbes and other contaminants can cause diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches, or other symptoms and may pose a special health risk for infants, some elderly, and people with severely compromised immune systems.
If you experience any of these symptoms and they persist, you should seek medical advice.
Officials said they hope to restore water service to these properties within six to eight hours.
Once the water is flowing allow the faucet to run for a minute or two.
The first water may be cloudy due to air in the water or particles that dislodge as the pipes fill with water.
Once water is restored, water samples will be taken and tested to ensure the safety of your water.
A secondary notice will be issued when this localized boil order is lifted.
According to the release, it is likely that residents within this defined area will need to boil water for the next 24 hours until the problem is fixed.

Many Flint schools still use donated bottled water at their kid’s school.
That’s why the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality began testing the pipes at those facilities.
"You drink bottled water at school too, don’t you?"
Schlinker’s grandson, Gavin, goes to Flint Community Schools.
He still can’t use the drinking fountain there, but a change could be around the corner.
The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality started a series of long-term water testing and flushing throughout the schools.
As leaders try to determine a long-term water solution for the District, Schlinker hopes it’s sooner than later.
They want to all agree that the water is safe before making any major changes in the way students get their water.
The plan will also rely heavily on school staff parents and students.
For Schlinker, he has his doubts on how soon he will feel safe with Gavin drinking anything but a bottle of h2o.

VALLEY CENTER, Kan. (KWCH) Update: The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has rescinded a boil water advisory for the city of Valley Center.
KDHE officials issued the advisory because the systems need to repair a fire hydrant.
Laboratory testing samples collected from the City of Valley Center indicate no evidence of contamination and all other conditions that placed the system at risk of contamination are deemed by KDHE officials to be resolved.
—- The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has issued a boil water advisory for the water in Valley Center.
The advisory was issued due to a water main break that is resulting in the loss of pressure in the system.
In the meantime, the following precautions should be observed: • Boil water for one minute prior to drinking or food preparation, or use bottled water.
• Dispose of ice cubes and do not use ice from a household automatic icemaker.
• Water used for bathing does not generally need to be boiled.
• Persons with cuts or severe rashes may wish to consult their physicians.
• If your tap water appears dirty, flush the water lines by letting the water run until it clears.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KCRG-TV9) — Cedar Rapids officials said Saturday a water main break and loss of pressure prompted a boil order in part of the city.
“Residents living in portions of northwest Cedar Rapids are asked to bring tap water to a rolling boil, boil for one minute, and cool before using for cooking or consumption,” read a post to the Cedar Rapids Police Department Facebook page.
“Residents may also use bottled water.” Authorities suggest those under the boil order use boiled or bottled water “for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth, and preparing food until further notice.” The precautionary boil order applies to properties adjacent to O Avenue NW, with Woodside Drive NW as a western boundary and 26th St NW as an easterly boundary.
Authorities said the homes and apartments that receive water from the O Ave water main between the boundaries will not have service while city crews make repairs.
“Even when water service is restored very quickly, as it will be to most residences within this area, the DNR requires that a boil order be issued for residents who lose pressure,” read the post.
“We are conducting biological tests to ensure the safety of the water, and we will continue to communicate with all customers, especially those within the most impacted area, until we have results from these tests confirming the safety of our water.” Authorities said they’re recommending all residents within the above area “boil water until we are able to validate the safety of the water within the system.” “At about 7:15 a.m. on January 20, 2018, the water system lost pressure due to a water main break at O Ave. NW in the vicinity of 26th St. NW,” authorities said.
“When water mains lose pressure it increases the chance that untreated water and harmful microbes can enter your water.” In worse case scenarios, authorities said microbes can cause “diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches, or other symptoms and may pose a special health risk for infants, some elderly, and people with severely compromised immune systems.” Authorities said if you experience any of these symptoms and they persist, you should seek medical advice.
City crews are working to restore water services as quickly as possible.
“Once water is restored, water samples will be taken and tested to ensure the safety of your water,” read the post.
“A secondary notice will be issued when this localized boil order is lifted.” Authorities believed it to be likely residents within the defined area will need to boil water for the next 24 hours.

Dozens of Kenner residents lined Loyola Drive Friday to get free water.
Cars lined up bumper to bumper at Kenner City Park.
"It reminds me of the Hurricane Katrina when you had to stay in line and get free stuff," Amanda Root said as she waited in her car.
He was able to put all the water on there.
I think it left Houston at 4:00 yesterday, got here last night," Zahn said.
The mayor said the water pressure is back to normal, and should stay that way.
"As mayor, as a councilperson and chief of police are very happy that the pressure’s back because we had to deal with the worry of fires.
We had a fire last night, we had two the other night.
"Two days ago, we got down to just a trickle of water in the house.
It’s made it difficult to do normal things like cooking and just cleaning up around the house," Cameron said.

View Slideshow 1 of 4 Residents in the Snowshoe area received 1,600 cases of free bottled water on Friday as a temporary relief from their water crisis.
For weeks, their water has looked, smelled and tasted abnormal.
"Yes, everybody is having the same problem," said Sharon Nilson, the EMS chief and a Snowshoe resident.
We have some people live up on Fountain Road that have no water pressure whatsoever.” Each household got two cases of bottled water donated by Nestle.
Students and faculty from the Bald Eagle Area High School volunteered to help distribute the water.
“We cannot pump enough water because our sources can’t," Yost said.
"We have leaks so it’s draining our tanks faster.
Yost said his office is working with the state Department of Environmental Protection and the State College Borough Water Authority to detect and fix the leaks.
"We tried to look for a new water source two or three years ago," he said.
"At the time, it would cost $1.7 million and we didn’t have the money.

Although cold temperatures eased Thursday, the arctic front that gripped the region earlier this week continued to make its presence felt, with Entergy customers asked to conserve power and Port Arthur students sent home early because of a "pipe break parade" experienced throughout Southeast Texas.
Port Arthur ISD sent students from all 15 schools home before lunch, district spokeswoman Kristyn Cathey said.
Students whose parents weren’t able to pick them up were given bottled water and food at school, then bused home at the normal release time.
"It’s a situation where we know we’re going to have to make up some days."
Hamshire-Fannett ISD considered releasing middle and high school students early after the high school building lost its water supply, Superintendent Dwaine Augustine said.
However, water was restored to the building early Thursday morning, and students operated on a normal schedule.
The Mauriceville Municipal Utility District issued a boil notice after losing water pressure on Wednesday night.
A water distribution site was set up at the Orange County Convention and Expo Center.
At Charlton-Pollard Elementary School in Beaumont, low water pressure caused students to move to South Park Middle School in the middle of the day.
Entergy requested that customers voluntarily reduce their power consumption from 5 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Thursday, according to Entergy Texas spokeswoman Kacee Kirschvink.

KENNER, La.
— Traffic on Loyola Avenue is backed up Friday as residents wait for bottled water in response to the boil water advisory in Jefferson Parish.
A line of vehicles could be seen at Kenner City Park around 10:30 a.m., waiting for the donated water to be given away.
Some residents said they had been waiting for almost an hour in the line.
Cars lined up ready to get bottled water at Kenner’s City Park Pavilion.
@WWLTV pic.twitter.com/uj3MRdFKK8 — Duke Carter II (@dcarterII) January 19, 2018 People coming to the pavilion are asked to bring proof of residency, and officials said there will be a maximum of one case of water per residence.
Many stores in the parish reportedly were sold out of bottled water.
Some of the donated water is also being delivered to nursing homes and assisted living centers in the area, officials said.
Mayor Ben Zahn said if there is a second distribution site, details will be posted on the city’s Facebook page.
Parish officials said water pressure in the parish will continue to be monitored.

The Friday, Jan. 19, announcement comes less than a month after the MDEQ said Flint school officials wouldn’t allow it to flush lines or test water inside any of its 13 buildings.
"As has been shared with the state of Michigan, Flint Community Schools will not allow students to drink water from the tap in the schools until … the Board of Education, its superintendent and the health and medical professionals of this great city are satisfied with the safety of the water."
"We are pleased to move forward in the development of a long-term plan for the for the future of water at Flint Community Schools, in conjunction with the state, the city of Flint and the medical community," Superintendent Bilal Tawwab said in a statement.
Officials said the long-term plan for the district’s water will: – outline detailed water monitoring and maintenance protocols and schedules – provide guidance on the flushing of pipes and filter replacement and maintenance as deemed necessary given the condition of the water system – technical assistance and both regulatory and independent oversight to ensure the protocols are sustained by associated state, local and school system entities Bottled water will continue to be used at the schools in the immediate future, despite test results from 63 other schools, daycare and elder care facilities in the city that recently showed 98.5 percent of samples collected were below the federal threshold for lead.
The state Department of Environmental Quality previously said Flint school officials wouldn’t allow it to flush lines or test water inside any of its 13 buildings.
The state has already warned that it could end purchases of bottled water for distribution sites in Flint if testing in the last half of 2017 continues well below the federal lead threshold of 15 parts per billion.
A water subcommittee also is being formed to include representatives from Flint schools, state and city officials, the medical community and independent water experts.
The $1 million pilot program will be funded by the Michigan Department of Education and is designed to create a best practices tutorial for flushing and testing protocols for all Michigan schools.
"The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality has been and remains committed to working with Flint Community Schools and the medical community to conduct flushing and testing in the district’s buildings, and to develop an ongoing plan forward," said Keith Creagh, director of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and former interim director of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality.
We are committed to support the city of Flint as it continues to provide quality water to its residents."

SNOW SHOE — State Rep. Mike Hanna announced Thursday that arrangements have been made with Nestle Waters to provide 1,600 cases of free bottled water to people affected by the low-water and boil water advisories put out by the Mountaintop Regional Water Authority.
Bald Eagle Area High School students will team up with Snow Show EMS to distribute the bottled water starting at 10 a.m. Friday at the Snow Shoe EMS building, 492 W. Sycamore Road in Snow Shoe.
Volunteers will also deliver water to anyone who cannot come to the facility to pick up water themselves.
Anyone with questions or who needs to have water reserved for them can call Mike Hanna’s Milesburg office at 814-353-8780, staffer Tammy Ammerman at 814-206-6433 or staffer Luanna Dudish at 814-571-3446.
Residents can also email at RepMikeHanna@pahouse.net.
Customers in parts of Snow Shoe borough, Snow Shoe Township and Burnside Township have been under advisories for more than one week.
However, residents say water has been milky white, green, and brown in color for nearly two months.
Hanna said that led to several calls from people asking for help.
Mountaintop Regional Water Authority chairman Jim Yost said the problem is that they cannot pump enough water out of their permitted wells and that there are also several leaks throughout the system.
The State College Water Authority has been helping Mountaintop find the leaks.
