HWU issues boil water advisory for stretch of South Main Street


Henderson Water Utility has issued a boil water advisory for a stretch of South Main Street, extending from Chapelwood Apartments to Drury Lane and encompassing the area from South Main to the river.
HWU said it is taking undertaking necessary repairs on a water main along South Main Street. This boil water advisory affects approximately 108 customers.

During this advisory, people should either boil tap water or use bottled water for activities such as drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, or washing dishes.

To properly boil your water, run your faucets with cold water for at least three minutes, then fill a pot and bring the water to a rolling boil for five minutes before allowing it to cool. It is recommended to continue boiling water or using bottled water until the advisory is lifted.

If you notice any discoloration in your water, run your faucets until the water runs clear. The boil water advisory will remain in effect until the water line repairs are completed and the water meets quality standards after testing.

Anyone with questions may contact HWU at 270-826-2824.
