Water service was shut off due to a water main failure and has since been restored. A Boil Order Advisory is being issued, as required by the Ohio EPA, to all affected customers. This boil order advisory is in effect until Wednesday, May 9 at 5 p.m. A Boil Order Advisory is issued due to the remote possibility that coliform bacteria, present in the environment, could be introduced into the water system when a main is depressurized. The bacteria could render the water non-potable or unsafe for human consumption.Only if this advisory is extended will residents affected by the Boil Order be notified, otherwise it expires at the previously stated date and time in this notice.

• During a boil order, only bottled water or water that has been boiled vigorously for at least one minute should be consumed or used to wash dishes, wash fruits/vegetables, make ice cubes or brush teeth.
• The City recommends that bottled water or water boiled vigorously for at least one minute should be used for hand washing.
• It is safe to shower or bathe in the water. Instruct children not to put the water in their mouth when they are bathing.
• It is safe to wash clothes in the water.
• Use bottled water or boiled water to wash and rinse dishes.
