MIAMISBURG — The boil water advisory issued Sunday evening for eastern sections of Miamisburg has been lifted effective immediately, according to city officials.

The advisory was issued as a result of a water main break that occurred near the intersection of King Richard Parkway and Gebhart Church Road.

REPORT ABUSE

Nope, too bad...yer gonna die...

If you were getting good water pressure through the whole event, you don't have a problem.

Seriously, once water pressure stops, there is the "possibility" of seepage back into the line from all the sundry joints in the pipe. The short time that this watermain is offline probably no problems as our water is chlorinated. Now, if this break had lasted for a week, different issue there...

Take a good shower...your water will be fine when you're done.

Just got the advisory, already used water, do we just wait and see if we get sick?

Also, once advisory has been lifted, what about the water sitting in the pipes that flowed before the lift,is it good?
