Miami Twp. water main repair to leave some without water, more with discolored water

According to a release, Montgomery County Environmental Services will shut down water starting 5 a.m. on Wednesday. The water service is expected to return Wednesday evening, though residents of those 25 homes will be under a boil advisory for 24 hours afterward.

During the boil advisory, the township advised residents to boil their water for three minutes before using and discard any ice made from Tuesday until the boil advisory is lifted.

Also, during the work and the 24 hours afterward, residents in the area from Alex-Bell Road in the south to around Kettering Boulevard in the north may see discolored water.

The township advised residents to do their laundry and bathe on Tuesday, but they decide to do laundry after the water is restored to check to see if it is clear to avoid staining their clothes. If a resident sees discolored water, the township also encouraged them to run the water until it runs clear again before bathing.

Due to the large number of houses involved, the township encouraged residents to sign up for CodeRED, a notification service for emergencies in the area.

The 25 homes that will lose water access during the repair are highlighted in red in the below map, and other homes affected by discolored water are highlighted in orange.

The addresses of the 25 homes that will lose water include:
