Eastpoint under Boil water Notice

There is a boil water notice in effect for Eastpoint residents today.

The Eastpoint Water and Sewer Department said water main on Franklin Street was broken by a road crew Monday morning and that reduced pressure in the system.

When the pressure falls to a certain point it requires a boil water notice until the water can be tested for bacteria.

Any water used for drinking or cooking should be brought to a rolling boil for one minute.

The precautionary boil water notice will remain in effect until the tests on water samples show the water is safe to drink.

The water department said they hope water sample results will be returned on Wednesday.

If you have any questions, you call the Eastpoint Water and Sewer District at 670-8177.
