Residents in the area are urged to boil water before consumption. The water should be brought to a boil for two minutes total, according to city officials.
Children, seniors and residents with weakened immune systems are especially encouraged to follow these guidelines, as the bacteria in the water can be most harmful to them, officials said.
Once the boil order is over and it is safe to consume the water without having to boil it, officials will be sure to notify residents.
