Town Supervisor Steve Tommasone said the order is precautionary.
While a backup liquid chlorine system is being used to disinfect the water, Tommasone said that, because of the gas system’s failure, county and state health officials ordered the advisory while repairs were being made, Tommasone said.

Water to be used for drinking or cooking should be boiled for at least one minute.
The health department said boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and all food preparation.
Tommasone acknowledged the order could be in effect for a couple of days, while the town waits for test results to come back.

Shorewood boil water advisory canceled.
Tests of Shorewood municipal water samples found "no indication of bacterial contamination" and the boil water advisory is canceled, Village Public Works Director Leann Butschlick said Wednesday.
The state Department of Natural Resources informed the village of the water test results late Wednesday afternoon, Butschlick said.
The village advised residents Tuesday morning to boil water or buy bottled water in the wake of a temporary 55% drop in pressure in village water distribution pipes.
State regulations require a municipality to test two samples of water for bacterial contamination before the water can be declared safe for drinking.
The drop in pressure was caused by maintenance work being done by Milwaukee Water Works crews on a water main along E. Locust St. between N. Farwell and N. Downer avenues.
After crews closed multiple valves in the main so the work could be done, "water pressure in the village dropped to an unanticipated level," Butschlick said.
