A boil advisory will be issued for the City of Lacona in Warren County on Monday, November 11 due to a pressure loss. The city is replacing a section of water main, requiring the depressurization of the entire system.

City officials are notifying residents via Facebook. Once repairs are completed the repair area will be disinfected and the distribution system will be flushed.

There is no reason to believe water quality will be compromised, but as a precaution, customers are encouraged to boil water that will be consumed or used for food preparation. Water should be boiled for two minutes and allowed to cool before use. Water is safe to use for showering, laundry, general washing and outdoor use without boiling.

Two sets of bacteria samples will be collected for testing. The boil advisory will be lifted once two consecutive sets of bacterial samples have tested negative for bacteria.
