CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (KFVS) - Approximately 600 customers are under a boil water advisory in Cape Girardeau on Thursday morning, February 22.

City leaders say the advisory is because of a water main break on Silver Springs Road.

According to Alliance Water, there was a leak on a 6-inch part of the pipe. The water pressure dropped while crews tried to isolate a section of the pipe and fix it. They say the outage was about an hour long.

The advisory went into effect at 10 a.m. on Thursday and is in effect until further notice.

The areas affected are east of Mount Auburn Road and west of the SEMO District Fair grounds.
