Johnny McClusky, Trotwood’s Public Works Operation Supervisor said the replacements took a little longer because instead of taking two days to replace the tie-ins, crews did it in one day.
“In replacing that water line, at a certain point you have to connect it into the existing water line and that will cause some disruption of service, so when that takes place we notify the residents with a flyer that they may be disrupted and under a boil advisory.”
McClusky said the city notified an estimated 40 to 60 residents who were affected during the water shut off that lasted about 10 hours.

He said crews sent have sent their water samples out, which takes about 18 to 24 hours to get back, and that the boil advisory should be lifted by Wednesday morning.
“We test our water daily... we take our water very seriously, we try to follow all the EPA rules and abide by them.”
