Boil water advisory continues, but officials say ‘we think it’s the beginning of the end’
BUCKS COUNTY, Pa. (KYW Newsradio) — Officials say there’s still a boil water advisory in place in parts of Lower Bucks County for Pennsylvania American Water customers, but the company is hoping that won’t be the case for long.
“We think it’s the beginning of the end, certainly," said PA American Water spokesman Terry Maenza.
That’s the hope, Maenza says, now that they have approval from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to begin collecting water samples for testing "We need to collect two consecutive days of test samples,” he said, which they started doing Sunday.

"As long as those samples come back with no signs of bacteria, we’ll be able to lift the advisory," he said.
That means Tuesday is the best case scenario for this advisory to be lifted.
Over the weekend, KYW Newsradio found out mechanical control issues in the plant led to high turbidity levels, or cloudiness in the water, that’s why the boil water advisory was called in the first place.
In addition, the Pennsbury School District has announced all Pennsbury schools will be open on Monday, December 23.
Dr. William J. Gretzula, the district Superintendent, issued a statement thanking community members for their “patience and understanding.” Gretzula also says PA American Water has provided schools, under the advisory, with a pallet of bottled water.
For all other customers under the advisory, PA American Water says they will continue to have water tankers available; those locations can be found here.
Atlanta residents purchase bottled water, empty shelves at some stores amid boil water advisory
After Atlanta officials issued a boil water advisory for a large area of the city, some grocery stores started selling its cases of bottled water fast.
"Shortly after 10 this morning our staff was working on routine maintenance for flow meters that are tied into the system of the high service pumps for Hemphill," said Kisha Powell during a council meeting.
Powell is the commissioner of the Department of Watershed Management for the City of Atlanta.
"We’re still doing our root cause analysis but in our preliminary discussions our process controls folks have noted that while one of the control or flow meters was in maintenance mode there was one that was not and it’s likely that that meter sent an alarm to the high service pumps to shut them off," she said.
11Alive noticed that many of the shelves were empty at the Kroger on Monroe Drive at Ansley Mall.
It was the same sight at the Publix nearby.
Water in the coolers near the checkout was also gone.
Restaurants and businesses have also taken precautions.
"Our teams started sampling as soon as we had pressure restored to the system.
We dispatched our sampling teams."
