BOIL WATER ADVISORY

The Residents of the 200 block and up of Susquehanna Ave, Summer Point, Sugar Run Rd, Hill St, Melody Lane, 449-760 Renovo Rd, and 19 Willow View St. may be at increased risk for Microbial Contamination.  On Tuesday, May 21, 2019, we repaired a leaky valve.  In order to do this, City staff needed to turn the water off.  Loss of positive pressure from the turn off could result in contamination.

Residents should not drink the water without boiling it first.  Bring all water to a rolling boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it cool before using; or use bottled water.  You should use boiled or bottled water for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth, and food preparation until further notice.

We will inform you when all corrective actions have been completed and when you no longer need to boil your water.  For more information, please contact the Water Department at 570-893-5909.
