Boil-water advisory in effect for Harrison residents through Monday

A boil-water advisory remains in place for residents of Harrison’s Natrona neighborhood at least through Monday.

Emergency services officials confirmed late Sunday that the advisory will continue until testing demonstrates that the local water is safe to drink.

Residents should boil their water before using for drinking or cooking. Homes with possible lead contamination in their pipes should flush their water for at least 60 seconds before boiling.

Harrison Water Authority board member Mark Krumenacker told the Valley News Dispatch on Saturday that the advisory was issued after a mainline water pipe burst on Springhill Road. The line itself was repaired Friday.

Those affected should have received an automated call about the issue, Krumenacker said.
