Anytime pressure drops below a certain level, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requires a boil order, said Jim Troike, Stark County sanitary engineer.
“You want to be cautious.
We’re being cautious.
That’s what the EPA requires us to do to protect people’s health to make sure there’s no problems,” he said.
The county is testing the water for bacteria.
Bring water to a boil, let it boil for at least one minute and let cool before using.

"We source up to about 70-percent of all of our goods from local sources, as far as farms, nurseries, basically anywhere local," Perry said.
But when the news of the boil water advisory broke, General Manager Dan Perry knew working around an old problem will become the new status quo once again.
"It is a little bit of an annoyance," Perry said.
"But it isn’t detrimental to where we have to shut our doors."
After washing, employees are also sanitizing their hands and their dishes, as part of a more hygenic way to serve those who walk in their door.
"We just don’t want take away from the customers’ experience," Perry said.
"Especially if it is something of a city problem that we have no control over."
After 14 years in the business, Perry said they just go with the flow.
"We’ve been doing this for a long time," Perry said.
"A boil advisory isn’t going to stop us now."

LAKE TOWNSHIP — The Stark County Metropolitan Water District is advising residents to boil water before using it due to the possibility of disease-causing organisms having entered the Lake Township water supply.
Officials say the illness-causing organisms may have been introduced to the water supply through a “low-pressure event.” The water boil advisory has been issued for residents from Brumbaugh to Pontius Street and east and west to Hoover Estates and Edison Street.
Residents should take note of the following: DO NOT DRINK THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST.
Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for at least one minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water.
Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation until further notice.
Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.
People with severely compromised immune systems, infants, and some elderly people may be at increased risk.
These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.
The water district says it has no evidence that the water system has been contaminated, but “the possibility, however, does exist that the water system is contaminated and is issuing this advisory as a precaution.” The district says it is investigating the issue and taking steps to correct the problem.
Anyone who requires additional information may call the water district at 330-451-2320.
