A boil advisory is in effect for Little Hocking Water customers located: along and adjacent to St. Andrews Boulevard from its intersection with County Road 85 and customers located on Ross Road, including Oakmont Drive, Cherry Hills Drive and Quail Hollow Street.
All water used for drinking, food preparation or dish washing should be boiled for a minimum of three minutes prior to use.
Boiling of water should continue until further notice.
Little Hocking Water personnel will be collecting water samples.
The results of the sample testing will determine when the advisory is to be lifted.

The potentially cancer-causing chemical GenX has been detected in untreated drinking water in a small town that lies across the Ohio River from a Chemours plant near Parkersburg, West Virginia.
GenX was not detected in tests done by Chemours after it passed through the Little Hocking Water Association’s activated carbon water filtration system and then distributed to about 12,000 customers.
But in a notification letter to the association’s customers this week, General Manager John Hanning wrote that “there is a serious question as to whether the kind of carbon filtration used at Little Hocking will effectively remove any GenX before it enters your drinking water.” The Fayetteville Observer featured Little Hocking’s water problems in a four-part series last month about GenX and its chemical cousin, known as PFOA or C8, which was used for decades at the plant in West Virginia, and at Chemours’ Fayetteville Works plant near the Cumberland-Bladen County line.
DuPont responded by installing activated carbon filtration systems for Little Hocking and other nearby towns with contaminated water.
But high levels of GenX have been found in the Cape Fear River, in private wells and in public drinking water from Cumberland County to the coast.
No human health studies have been completed on GenX.
Afterward, the EPA became concerned that GenX had also contaminated water supplies in Ohio and West Virginia.
That’s far less than the 140 parts per trillion that North Carolina established as a health standard for drinking water after GenX was found to have contaminated public water supplies in this state.
Levels of GenX above the state’s health goal have been found in 190 private wells surrounding the Fayetteville Works plant.
In North Carolina, researchers are trying to determine whether GenX and a host of other contaminants can effectively be screened out of public drinking water supplies downstream of the Chemours plant.
