A Water Boil Advisory has been issued by the Ashland Area Municipal Authority.
On Wednesday afternoon, the following message was sent to residents in Ashland and the surrounding communities after routine maintenance led to the finding of a potential problem.
Upon a routine inspection of the Ashland Area Municipal Authority Water Tanks, we discovered a missing vent. Due to the potential risk of contamination, we must issue a water boil advisory until further notice. We ask all Ashland Area Municipal Authority customers to boil your drinking water for at least one minute and let it cool before drinking or using it for cooking.
Ashland Area Municipal Authority is working with PA DEP and our Engineering Firm to resolve this problem as quickly as possible.
The Ashland Area Municipal Authority covers Ashland and parts of Butler Township.
