Charleroi authority under boil-water advisory has another water line break
An authority in Charleroi was investigating a third water line rupture on a pipeline that led Tuesday to a boil-water advisory in the Mon Valley.
Monessen Councilman David Feehan said the line broke again on a major transmission line on a hill in Rostraver Township where a landslide along Route 906 was also under investigation.
The section of roadway is in Rostraver Township.
Valerie Petersen, spokeswoman for the state Department of Transportation, said PennDOT crews were monitoring the landslide, which was caused by line rupture.
Route 906 did not close due to the landslide, which required plow trucks to move mud from the roadway.
The boil-water advisory remained in place until further notice in Monessen, North Charleroi, Charleroi and Speers, Pappasergi said.
The water supply will be tested again Thursday to confirm whether it tests negative for the presence of disease-causing organisms.
Water buffaloes have been set up at: Speers Borough Building, 300 Phillips St.; Charleroi Fire Department, 328 Fallowfield Ave., Lock No.
4 Volunteer Fire Co., 550 Isabella Ave.; and Monessen Fire Department No.

Service authority issues boil water advisory to some Ringgold residents
Residents along several streets in Ringgold should boil their tap water before using it, according to a Pittsylvania County Service Authority advisory.
Authority Director Chris Adcock said all repairs to the water main along Tom Fork Road have been completed, and the water line is being flushed.
However, water customers living on McCain Drive, Bennie Drive, Mount Zion Circle, Ringgold Depot Road and Tom Fork Road are at risk of stomach or intestinal illness if their tap water isn’t purified before drinking it as a result of the break.
The tap water should be brought to a roiling boil and remain at that level for at least one minute before using.
The water main break occurred on Thursday after Tropical Storm Michael passed over the region, bringing with it historic rainfall and heavy winds in the span of a few hours.
If boiling the tap water isn’t an option, the advisory stated residents can use bleach or water purification tablets to clean the water.
When using bleach, the advisory said the product should be recently purchased, free of additives or scents and have a hypochlorite solution of at least 5.35 percent.
The advisory said the mixture should be stirred and let stand for at least 30 minutes before use.
Adcock said the boil water notice will also be handed out to water customers door to door.
“If the results are not satisfactory, you will be given further instruction on the PCSA website (pcsa.co),” stated the notice.

Authorities deny water contamination at school in Dubai
The German Consulate in Dubai confirmed to Khaleej Times that the German International School Dubai will commence its normal operations from Tuesday.
In an earlier statement released to Khaleej Times on Sunday, the consulate confirmed the temporary closure of the school "after a possible contamination of water was discovered".
"After coordinating with the competent Dubai authorities, the school will commence normal operations on September 11," the consulate’s statement on Monday said.
Also read: Dubai school shuts temporarily due to water contamination After testing, authorities denied the presence of bacteria that cause Legionnaire’s disease in the water in the school, which forced it to close down temporarily.
"The school has been closed as a matter of precaution," the consulate had said.
However, the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) confirmed to Khaleej Times on Monday that samples tested from the water network confirmed that the water is clear of "any contamination or bacteria".
"The results were conveyed to the school," a Dewa spokesperson said.
While it is Dewa’s responsibility to provide safe and healthy water up to the meter, the customer or owner of a building and maintenance companies have the responsibility of carrying out regular maintenance of the internal networks and water tanks after the meter to ensure that health and safety standards are met.
