Water Boil Advisory
Residents in the area of Kyle School in Troy will be affected by a water main repair on Monday, August 18, 2008. The repair is to replace a broken valve serving Kyle School, and will require depressurizing the water supply to the area listed below. As a precaution of possible bacterial contamination following depressurization, we are advising all consumers in the area to boil water for at least one minute prior to use for drinking, cooking, or oral hygiene (this would include water for ice). The affected area includes: Grant Street from Plum Street to West Market Street, Plum Street from Drury Lane to Grant Street, West Simpson Street from South Market to Plum Street, Terrace Place from South Market Street to Plum Street, and Cherry Street from Simpson Street to Terrace Place.
 
If water is discolored, flush the faucet for 1-15 minutes.  Some air may also be present in the lines. Water samples will be analyzed following this repair to determine if any contamination is present. This advisory should be followed until residents have been advised otherwise. Please keep in mind that although boil advisories can be inconvenient, they are a safeguard for you. The majority of boil advisories issued by the City of Troy are lifted within 30-48 hours. The testing program required by the Ohio EPA will be completed in a timely manner, and an "All Clear" notice will be delivered to your home when the advisory is lifted.  For further information call the City of Troy Utilities Department at 335-1914.  If you are calling after 3:00 p.m., please call the City of Troy Water Treatment Plant at 339-4826.  This advisory is issued in accordance with OAC rule 3745-81-32 (B).
