A water main break disrupted water service Sunday for about 8,000 customers in Radcliff and Vine Grove for more than 12 hours and resulted in a boil-water advisory for the affected area.
District General Manager Stephen Hogan said the pipe was one of the district’s major lines and its age was a factor in the break.
Hogan said the pipe was repaired as of noon Monday and water service was restored.
“We do know it’s an inconvenience,” he said.
Vine Grove, which operates its own water distribution network but purchases its water from District 1, also issued an identical advisory.
The advisory is required by state regulations and is a precautionary measure, Hogan said.
As of Monday night, the boil water advisory still was in effect.
Hogan said the district was waiting for those test results before lifting the advisory.
The water district posted the boil water notice Monday morning to Facebook.
“You need a better alert system!” Heather Richardson commented on a water district Facebook post.
