Jasper issues boil order on southeast side
From Local Sources JASPER — The Jasper Water Department has issued a boil order on the southeast side of the city for residential and business customers.
A boil water advisory is issued when some type of event has created the potential for contamination to enter the water supply.
The affected area includes A Street, B Street, C Street, E Street, Hillbrook Road, Raymond Street, Highland Street, St. James Avenue, Hill Road, Energy Drive and Third Avenue from Liberty Street to Meridian Road.
Jasper Water customers in the impacted neighborhood should bring water used for drinking, coffee, tea, powdered drinks, fountain drinks, ice, brushing teeth and washing dishes to a full boil for at least five minutes before consuming.
Cool and aerate the boiled water by pouring it through the air from one clean container to another, or mixing rapidly with a clean utensil.
Aeration will reduce the flat taste caused by boiling.
Note that water filtering or treatment units will not remove all of the possible contaminants that the order is targeting and dishwashers do not reach a temperature high enough to remove all of the possible contaminants.
The boil order will remain in affect until two samples of water from the site taken over a 48-hour period pass contamination tests.
Boil Water Advisory issued for some Newberry Township residents
YORK COUNTY, Pa.– A boil water advisory has been issued for certain Newberry Township residents.
A loss of positive water pressure is a signal of the existence of conditions that could allow contamination to enter the distribution system through back-flow by back‑pressure or back-siphonage.
As a result, there is an increased chance that the water may contain disease-causing organisms.
DO NOT DRINK THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST.
These symptoms, however, are not caused only by organisms in drinking water, but also by other factors.
These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.
What happened?
A water main break occurred on Reeser Drive in Newberry Township.
(#1210, 1265, 1325, 1605), Midway Rd.
(#760, 734, 765) We will inform you when all corrective actions have been completed and when you no longer need to boil your water.
