A loss of pressure in the water system could potentially result in bacterial contamination.
Per state guidelines, city staff must now test the water for bacteria and have two clean samples returned before the water is deemed acceptable to drink. The process could take up to 72 hours.
A boil water advisory is simply a precaution.
City officials said a “power and communications outage” happened on April 30, leading to the pressure loss.
