Boil Water Notice Issued for Parts of Cleveland Following Water Main Break

November 28, 2024

The City of Cleveland has issued a Boil Water Notice for several neighborhoods following a 6-inch water main break at 100 Pine Hills Drive. The advisory, issued as a precautionary measure, affects residents and businesses on Pine Hill Drive, Honeycomb Terrace, and Christopher Court.

Cause and Impact

The water main break was reported early Wednesday morning, prompting swift action from Cleveland Water Distribution teams. According to Andrea Smith, a Cleveland Water Distribution operator, the boil water notice was issued to ensure public health and safety while crews work to restore normal water service.

The affected areas may experience low water pressure or temporary service interruptions while repairs are underway. Smith assured residents that the notice is precautionary and that testing is being conducted to confirm the water’s safety.

What Residents Should Do

Under the boil water notice, all water intended for drinking, cooking, or brushing teeth should be brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute. Residents are advised to use boiled or bottled water until further notice.

For households and businesses in the affected areas:

Avoid consuming tap water without boiling it first.

Discard any ice made with tap water during the advisory period.

Consider alternative water sources for pets and sensitive equipment.

The city will notify the public through local media and the city’s website once water quality tests confirm that the water is safe for consumption.

City Response and Next Steps

Repair crews have been working around the clock to fix the damaged water main, and testing to ensure water safety is already underway. The City of Cleveland has emphasized its commitment to resolving the issue quickly and minimizing the disruption to residents.

“We understand the inconvenience this causes, and we appreciate the patience of our community as we work to restore normal service,” said Smith.

Staying Updated

Residents can stay informed about the boil water notice by following updates from local news outlets or visiting the City of Cleveland’s website. Notifications will also be sent out through the city’s social media channels.

Health and Safety First

While boil water notices are often issued out of an abundance of caution, they play a critical role in preventing waterborne illnesses. Residents are encouraged to adhere to the advisory until it is officially lifted.

For further questions or concerns, residents can contact Cleveland Water Distribution customer service or the city’s emergency hotline.

Stay tuned for updates on this developing situation.
