OA boil water advisory has been issued for parts of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, after crews responded to two separate water main breaks that disrupted service earlier today.
According to local officials, the breaks caused a temporary loss of pressure in sections of the water distribution system. As a precaution, residents in affected areas are advised to boil tap water used for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, and food preparation until further notice.
Utility crews are working to repair the damaged mains and restore normal service. Water quality testing will be conducted before the advisory can be lifted.
What residents should do
- Boil tap water for at least one minute before consumption
- Use boiled or bottled water for beverages and food preparation
- Avoid swallowing tap water when brushing teeth
Tap water may still be used for bathing and household cleaning, provided it is not ingested.
