A boil water order has been issued for customers in Benton Charter Township, Indiana, following a loss of water pressure caused by a water system issue earlier this week.
Local officials announced the order on January 18, 2026, after pressure dropped in parts of the distribution system. As a precaution, residents are being asked to boil water used for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, and food preparation until further notice.
Officials said crews are working to stabilize the system and complete required water quality testing. The order will remain in effect until test results confirm that the water supply meets safety standards.
What residents should do
- Bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute before consumption
- Use bottled water if boiling is not possible
- Discard ice and beverages made with tap water during the advisory
Water can typically still be used for bathing, laundry, and sanitation purposes, provided it is not swallowed.
