YARDLEY, Pa. (WTXF) – All schools in the Pennsbury Township School District will be open Monday, Dec. 3, amid a boil water advisory.
Officials issued the boil water advisory for Yardley-area residents due to high turbidity levels on Friday.
PAW says water samples had turbidity levels of 1.7 ntu, which is above the regulatory standard.
The chance for disease-containing organisms is higher with high levels of turbidity.
The boil water advisory remains in place for all PAW customers in Lower Makefield Township, Yardley Borough and portions of Falls Township.
Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and food preparation until further notice.
Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.
Turbidity may indicate the presence of disease-causing organisms.
These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.
The symptoms above are not caused only by organisms in drinking water.
