The area west of S. Park St. and south of W. Grand Ave. was included in the "precautionary boil order," which means just in case something is wrong with the water’s quality — people should be sure to drink bottled water for the time being.
Inside Port Washington’s Water Department, David Kleckner was hard at work, Thursday, keeping the city’s water safe to drink.
"Right now, the samples are looking good," said Kleckner.
Portions of the city were placed under a precautionary boil order as a result of a fire hydrant breaking.
Officials said residents in the boil order area should not drink, or consume, any water until 7:30 p.m.
"Immediately called the DNR for their advice on how to handle the procedure.
Water sample testing involved collecting the water in a jar, and then incubating it for 24 hours.
When done, if it comes out yellow, then it means the water is not safe to drink.
Suppiger said fortunately, it didn’t interrupt a party she was having.
FOX6 asked what her reaction would be if the lab results came back positive for contamination.

WESTERLY, R.I. — Health officials have issued a boil water notice in Westerly, Rhode Island after E. coli bacteria was found in the water supply.
The state Department of Health said Wednesday that water customers should boil water used for human consumption — including drinking and cooking — for at least one minute.
Customers can also use bottled water.
E.coli is bacteria that signal the presence of fecal matter.
It was detected in a routine sample taken on Monday.
E.coli can cause diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches or other symptoms.
The bacteria poses an increased health risk for infants, young children, the elderly, and people with severely compromised immune systems.
Even with the boil-water advisory in place, all Westerly Public Schools will remain open on Thursday, CBS affiliate WPRI reports.
Resident Courtney Capizzano said she ran out to the store for bottled water immediately following the boil water order.
"We have dogs at home, babies at home.

The advisory, which followed a power failure at a Great Lakes Water Authority booster station, affected an area from 8 Mile to 9 Mile roads, between Haggerty and Drake roads.
Customers affected north of 9 Mile Rd.
were the Polo Club Apartments and between Halstead and Drake, south of Freedom Road.
According to officials, the Oakland County Water Resource Commissioners Office conducted tests and lines in the area were flushed over the weekend.
Until the boil water advisory has been lifted, Livonia residents are urged not to drink the water without boiling it first.
Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for 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.
For updates, Livonia residents are asked to check the city’s website and community Facebook page.

About 100,000 customers in the Bethel Park area are under a 48-hour flush and boil advisory for all water used for drinking and cooking.
The Bethel Park Police Department shared the news on Facebook around 5 p.m. Monday.
The water, provided by Pennsylvania American Water Company, is safe for bathing and washing clothes, according to the post.
Prior flush and boil advisories have suggested residents in affected areas flush taps by running water for at least one minute and then boil water for one minute and let it cool before using it for drinking, food prep, washing dishes or brushing teeth.
Bethel Park police said a water buffalo tank will be located at the local Community Center parking lot on Park Avenue for residents’ use.
KDKA reported water samples taken earlier in the day from portions of Penn American’s Allegheny and Washington county service areas showed cloudiness levels above the regulatory standard, which carries in increased risk for disease.
Water problems have persisted region-wide this year.
An estimated 18,000 homes serviced by the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority in Pittsburgh’s northern neighborhoods, Millvale and Reserve Township endured an advisory for several days in August.
Another 100,000 PWSA customers in the East End faced one after disinfection and chlorine testing in January near the Highland Park filtration plant tested abnormally.

Pennsylvania American Water said Monday that it is advising several communities in Allegheny and Washington to boil their water before consumption due to high turbidity, or cloudiness, in the water supply.
The company said the warning applies to approximately 100,000 customers.
In a statement, Pennsylvania American Water said it is taking corrective actions, including draining its affected water storage tanks.
“We anticipate resolving the problem by this evening,” the statement said.
Here are the affected communities:
● Bethel Park ● Clairton ● Dravosburg ● Elizabeth Township ● Elizabeth Borough ● Glassport ● Jefferson ● Jefferson Hills Borough ● Liberty ● Lincoln ● North Fayette ● South Fayette ● South Park ● Upper Saint Clair ● West Elizabeth
● Amwell ● Avella ● Buffalo ● Burgettstown ● Canton ● Canonsburg ● Caroll Township ● Cecil Township ● Chartiers ● City of Washington ● Claysville ● Cross Creek ● Donegal Township ● East Washington ● Fallowfield ● Finleyville ● Frankfort Springs ● Forward Township ● Green Hills Borough ● Independence ● Hanover ● Hopewell ● Houston ● Jefferson ● McDonald ● Midway ● Monongahela ● Mount Pleasant ● New Eagle ● North Franklin ● North Strabane ● Nottingham ● Peters Township ● Robinson Township ● Smith Township ● Somerset Township ● South Franklin ● South Strabane ● Union Township ● West Middletown According to a statement from the company, turbidity “has no health effects,” but “can interfere with disinfection and provide a medium for microbial growth” and indicate “the presence of disease-causing organisms.” Bacteria, viruses and parasites can cause symptoms such as “nausea, cramps, diarrhea and associated headaches,” the release said.
Boil water for at least one minute and let it cool.
The alternative is to use bottled water.
Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and food preparation until further notice.
