City of Albion under boil water advisory.
ALBION, Mich. (WILX) — The City of Albion is telling residents to boil their water before using.
Bacterial contamination may have occurred in the water system due to a drop of pressure.
Steps are being taken to correct the situation.
In the meantime bring the water you intend to use to a boil, and let it boil for at least one minute and let it cool before using.
Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and preparing food.
Boiling the water kills bacteria and other organisms that may be in the water.
Use boiled or bottled water until further notice.
The boil water advisory will remain in effect until results from tests show the water is safe to drink.
General guidelines on ways to lessen the risk of infection by microbes are available from the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1(800) 426-4791.
