Aspinwall issues boil water notice to borough residents.
Aspinwall Borough officials have issued a boil water advisory for their water customers, after maintenance work on a Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority pump caused low or no water pressure Wednesday morning to about half of the borough’s 1,200 water customers.
Melissa Lang O’Malley, the borough manager, said the boil water advisory is in effect at least until noon Thursday, to allow the Allegheny County Health Department to conduct the required water quality tests.
The borough gets its water from the PWSA.
All residents of the borough were notified of the advisory via the municipality’s 911-robo call system.
Borough officials were alerted to the water problem Wednesday morning by customers reporting low or no water pressure and brown or discolored tap water in an area below Eighth Street.
That loss of water pressure was caused by PWSA maintenance workers who shut down a PWSA pump in Blawnox or O’Hara.
The water system must pass two tests before the advisory can be lifted.
The first bacteriological test was done around noon Wednesday.
The borough asked residents to check for updates.

Boil water advisory extended for Aspinwall.
ASPINWALL, Pa. — A boil water advisory remains in effect for Aspinwall on Wednesday.

Pickering said it is common for water to come out brown for a short period of time after restarting a pump that’s been down for a while.
The advisory has been extended until Thursday to allow time for water testing by Aspinwall Borough.
Lang is optimistic the water will come back clean Thursday morning.
For the time being, residents are encouraged to boil any water they might consume, directly or indirectly.
Bathing, Lang added, is okay.
