PIQUA — The Piqua Municipal Water System has issued a boil water advisory for residents on Ellerman Street, Ford Drive, Ridge Street, West Grant Street and the 800 and 900 blocks from Gordon Street to Ford.

This is a precautionary measure after repairs to a water main break.

Residents were advised Monday, Aug. 10, to start boiling all drinking water taken from the public water system. This includes water for drinking, making ice cubes, washing foods, brushing teeth or any other activity involving consumption of water.

Water should be brought to a full boil for at least five minutes to ensure it is safe for consumption. Boiled water may be stored at room temperature or refrigerated in a closed container until needed.

Questions should be directed to the municipal water system at (937) 778-2090.

A city representative said Monday afternoon the boil water advisory likely would remain in effect at least until Tuesday morning.
