A water main break on Clarke Drive has prompted officials to issue a boiling water advisory.
The advisory covers the majority of the Clarke University campus and 10 water customers on Clarke Drive, between the campus and West Locust Street, according to a press release from the City of Dubuque.
The release states that water service has been disrupted by the break of the 12-inch main and will be restored as soon as possible.
After water service is restored, the water department recommends that customers in the advisory area boil tap water before drinking it or using it for cooking, or use an alternative source, until the advisory is lifted.
After service is restored, water will be tested for bacteria, a process that can take approximately 48 hours to complete.
Call the water department at 563-589-4291 for more information.
