Missouri American Water sent this message to affected customers: "This is a message from Missouri American Water.
We’re calling to tell you that we have issued a precautionary boil water advisory in your area, due to a large water main break.
We are asking customers to bring their water to a rolling boil for three minutes before using it for drinking or cooking.
The precautionary boil water advisory will be in effect until water quality samples confirm that the water remains safe for consumption.
Precautionary boil water advisories normally last about 48 hours.
We will call you again when the boil water advisory has been lifted."
“We have to buy bottled water and sell it or they can’t drink water I assume,” says the chef.
Missouri American Water is asking customers to bring their water to a rolling boil for three minutes before using it for drinking or cooking but tap water is okay for washing and bathing.
