Boil Water Advisory for Section of Allentown

A boil water advisory is in effect for around 45 customers in Allentown.

The advisory is for residents living in the 19th Ward area of the city including the 2500 blocks of South Carbon and South Lumber streets and the 800 block of Margaret Street.

The city claims certain customers experienced a disruption in water service or loss of pressure while the local power supply was interrupted on Saturday.

Affected customers are advised to conserve and boil their water until further notice.

Allentown says the Water Resource Department may not be able to properly disinfect the water system of the affected customers and that there is an increased chance their water may contain disease-causing organisms. The advisory will stay in effect until further water quality tests have been completed to ensure no contamination has occurred.
