NEGAUNEE -- There has been a water boil advisory issued for a part of Negaunee after a loss in pressure on Wednesday.
Residents in the Hungerford Street area between Birch Street and Maas Street and at Lakeview School are being asked to boil water for consumption or cooking for three to five minutes until further notice.
According to the City of Negaunee, the loss of pressure in the system may have cause reverse leakage, possibly contaminating the piping system. The city plans to do a bacteriological test once pressure is restored.
The boil advisory is in effect until the water tests show that the water is safe for consumption. People may notice discoloration due to the system being flushed and are advised to let the water run until it clears.
