The water boil advisory has been lifted for the 200 block of 10th street.

200 BLOCK OF 10th STREET ONLY! DRINKING WATER WARNING BOIL YOUR WATER BEFORE USING HIERVAN EL AGUA ANTES DE USARLA. ESTE INFORME CONTIENE INFORMACION MUY IMPORTANTE SOBRE SU AGUA DE BEBER.... TRADUZCALO O HABLE CON ALGUIEN QUE LO ENTIENDA BIEN. The Aspinwall Borough May Be At Increased Risk From Microbial Contamination. We routinely monitor the conditions in the distribution system. A water main break occurred on 10th Street at approximately 10:00 am. December 19, 2020. This caused a loss of positive pressure on the 200 block of 10th Street. THIS ONLY AFFECTS THE 200 BLOCK OF 10th STREET. A loss of positive water pressure is a signal of the existence of conditions that could allow contamination to enter the distribution system through back-flow by back pressure or back-siphonage. As a result, there is an increased chance that the water may contain disease-causing organisms. What should I do? Until further notice, customers who live in the impacted areas should take the following steps before using tap water for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation: 1. Flush your water tap by running water for 1 minute or longer, then 2. Boil water for 1 minute, and let it cool before consumption. Flushing water brings in fresh water from the main and boiling fresh water kills any bacteria and other organisms that can enter the water. Inadequately treated water may contain disease-causing organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites, which can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches. These symptoms, however, are not caused only by organisms in drinking water, but also by other factors. If you experience any of these symptoms and they persist, you may want to seek medical advice. People with severely compromised immune systems, infants, and some elderly may be at increased risk. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. General guidelines on ways to lessen the risk of infection by microbes are available from EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1 (800) 426 4791. What happened? What is being done? Repair to the main began at 10 a.m. on December 19, 2020. For more information, please contact: Aspinwall Borough 412-781-0213. Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail. This notice is being sent to you by The Borough of Aspinwall . PWS ID#: 5020003 Date distributed: December 19, 2020.
