MARIETTA, Ohio (WTAP) – The City of Marietta on Tuesday morning issued a Boil Water Advisory for some residents on Glendale Road, for an emergency water line repair.
The City of Marietta says there will be water service interruption due to an emergency water line repair.
Boil Advisories usually last 24 hours, but the City of Marietta will notify the public when the Boil Water Advisory for this area has been lifted.
This Recommendation is issued whenever a water break emergency has resulted in the loss of water service.
All affected water service locations have or will be flushed to re-establish our customers with a ‘safe’ water supply.
This means that effective chlorine residual is present to provide protection against bacteriological contamination in the water supply.
Bacteriological tests will be performed according to E. P. A. requirements.
After the required samples are found to be total coliform negative, the boil advisory is canceled.
If samples are positive for total coliform, the public will be re-notified and the boil advisory extended.
Water should be left to cool to a safe handling temperature before placing in storage containers.
