A Miamisburg boil water advisory affecting about 25 percent of the city customers — including many businesses in the downtown area – was lifted Friday evening.
One of the 32 restaurants or business serving food that were directly notified of the boil alert by the city was TJ Chumps on East Linden Avenue, where business dropped off after the advisory was first issued, said Managing Partner Mike Leigh.
FIRST REPORT: Miamisburg issues water boil advisory The level of chlorine in samples at the city’s water treatment plant Thursday morning fell below Ohio EPA recommended levels because of a mechanical failure, prompting a boil advisory for about 1,900 Miamisburg water customers, many of them businesses, said city Public Works Director Valerie Griffin.
The advisory area included about one-third of land in the city, Griffin said, and the mechanical failure is “not associated with the construction” of the city’s $69 million water and sewer master plan.
Those upgrades are being paid for by annual rate hikes that have caused customer criticism in recent months.
With the city’s “antiquated” infrastructure, Leigh said the water issues have occurred frequently enough for the restaurant to issue guidelines for operational changes, such as wash room procedures or switching from dispensed to bottled drinks.
On South Main Street, Mz.
Pickles Sandwich Shop owner Carol Brassington said the boil advisory caused frustration, inconveniences and precautions.
The five-year water and sewer upgrades are designed to modernize Miamisburg’s water and sewer system.
Sometimes failures happen,” Griffin said.

Many Spotsy residents may need to boil water through weekend.
Spotsylvania County is advising many residents to boil their water before using it as a result of a water main break on U.S. 1 Friday morning.
Some homes may have lower-than-normal water pressure and discolored water until repairs are complete.
Residents can still take baths or showers, but should be careful not to swallow the water.
The county will collect water samples in coordination with the Virginia Department of Health.
Workers are also flushing discolored water from the lines, which will take about 12 hours to clear, a county spokeswoman said early Friday afternoon.
Deputy County Administrator Ed Petrovitch said rising temperatures could have caused the break, though he could not confirm that.
“Typically, this time of year is when we see thermal breaks because of the change in the ground temperature,” he said.
“Spring is the season.” The 12-inch, cast-iron pipe that broke was installed in the 1970s, Petrovitch said.
He said that section of the pipe will be replaced as the area south and east of Cosner’s Corner is developed.

The KDHE issued the advisory because of a line break resulting in a loss of pressure in the system.

Dispose of ice cubes and do not use ice from a household automatic icemaker.
Disinfect dishes and other food contact surfaces by immersion for at least one minute in clean tap water that contains one teaspoon of unscented household bleach per gallon of water.
