WTMA issues boil water advisory after major leak

A large leak in the Washington Township Municipal Authority’s water system late Friday into early Saturday means customers in the Beartown and Old Route 16 area should use bottled water or boil their water through mid-week.
The water main that serves the area ruptured and the repair required that a section of pipe be removed.
The water tank level dropped significantly and it was anticipated that it could take into Monday morning before water will rise enough for all customers to have at least some water service, according to a recording at the WTMA office.
When it reaches 75 feet, all customers should have some water service.
The loss in water pressure could result in temporary contamination of the distribution system.
Only after all service has been restored can WTMA begin to take water samples.
People who were without water will need to continue to boil their water for three days after the first sample is taken, according to the recording.
WTMA will inform customers when laboratory tests indicate the water is safe to drink.
In addition, customers will experience air in their lines and can bleed some of it off by opening an outside faucet.
