Boil-water advisory issued for Arlington

ARLINGTON – The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has issued a boil-water advisory for the public water supply in Arlington.
Health officials issued the advisory because the city cannot maintain the minimum required chlorine residual.
Details on why there are issues with chlorine levels were not immediately available but failure to maintain those levels may put the system at risk for bacterial contamination.
The advisory will remain until officials determine that conditions that placed the system at risk of contamination are adequately resolved.
Customers should observe the following precautions until further notice: Boil water for one minute before drinking or food preparation or use bottled water.
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.
Water used for bathing does not need to be boiled.
Supervision of children is necessary while bathing, however, so they don’t ingest the water.
Persons with cuts or severe rashes may wish to consult their physicians.

Crash causes water issues in Laurel

A boil water advisory is in effect for the city of Laurel after a driver crashed into a fire hydrant on Queensburg Avenue Wednesday, causing a leak in a major water line.
Mayor Johnny Magee said the old water line, estimated to be from the 1970’s, tracked along the perimeter of the city.

7,000 PWSA Customers In East End Under Flush And Boil Advisory

A major water main break at Centre and South Negley avenues Sunday prompted the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority to issue a flush and boil water advisory for eight East End neighborhoods.
*UPDATED: This post was updated at 11:48 a.m., Dec. 18.
In a release, PWSA officials said the advisory, affecting roughly 7,000 customers, was precautionary.
"[The break] caused low and no water pressure for customers in the central and eastern sections of the City of Pittsburgh," according to the release.
"The main break was isolated, and pressure was restored today.
PWSA is issuing a precautionary boil water advisory to a limited area because a decrease in pressure can allow contaminants to enter the drinking water."
The advisory is for water used for consumption.
A map of the impacted neighborhoods is also available.
Neighborhoods under a boil advisory include Bloomfield, Central Lawrenceville, East Liberty, Friendship, Garfield, Highland Park, Morningside and Shadyside.
East End residents affected by the flush and boil advisory can also get clean water from three water buffaloes throughout the city at: Shursave IGA Super Market at 4401 Liberty Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15224 CVS at 4610 Centre Avenue at North Craig Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15213 Fire Station 8 at 149 North Euclid Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15206 Another water main break in the Middle Hill has disrupted service for PWSA customers.

Pilot lifts ‘Boil water advisory’

PILOT MOUNTAIN — A boil water advisory placed on the town’s water supply following Monday’s water line break near East Surry High School has been lifted, according to town manager Michael Boaz.
“The town has received the results of the test of the water samples taken yesterday and they are all clear.
The boil water advisory has been lifted as of 10 a.m.,” said Boaz in an email Wednesday morning.
Repairs were completed about midnight Monday night.
Repairing the break which occurred earlier Monday required water to be turned off to take pressure off water tanks.
Doing this had the potential to pull water back into the system, Boaz said, though the possibility of polluting the water supply was highly unlikely.
A “boil water notice” was issued for the town’s water system when the water was turned back on.
Boaz said only one water tower was affected, but it would be complicated to determine which water customers were served by which tower, so the notice was issued for the entire system.
Testing required 24 hours, and the town received the all-clear Wednesday morning that boiling water was no longer necessary.

Boil Water Advisory Lifted in South Leesburg

The Leesburg Utilities Department has lifted the boil water advisory issued Monday for the Evergreen Meadows neighborhood and other properties on Evergreen Mills Road.
Laboratory testing of water samples collected on Monday and Tuesday revealed no bacteriological contamination resulting from a low-pressure condition in distribution lines.
The town staff has flushed lines in the areas to clear potential contamination and sediment.
Some discoloration of the water is a normal result of flushing.
No bacteria was found in the town’s water system.
However, because of low water use during the past two days, residents are encouraged to flush their internal plumbing before resuming normal water use.
That includes opening all faucets to allow water to run for at least one minute; run washing machines for one cycle before loading clothes; run dishwashers for one cycle before loading dishes; and empty automatic ice makers of all ice made during the boil water advisory and run through a 24-hour cycle, discarding the ice to ensure the icemaker water supply line is clear.
Residents with questions or concerns about the boil water advisory should contact the Utilities Department at 703-771-2750.
