Once water service is restored, there will be at least a 24 hour boil advisory. A boil advisory means you should vigorously boil your water 1 to 2 minutes before consumption. Crews have isolated the break and are beginning excavation to repair the break. An update will follow. Out of precaution, we are issuing a boil advisory for the area highlighted in red.
