Precautionary boil advisory, low water pressure for some in STL after storms

ST. LOUIS – The City of St. Louis has announced a precautionary boil advisory for parts of the city dealing with low water pressure in the aftermath of Saturday’s storms.

During the intense storms, the city’s Chain of Rocks water treatement plant temporarily lost power. This led to low water pressure in neighborhoods surrounding Tower Grove Park.

As of a result, the following areas are considered to be under a precautionary boil advisory until further notice:

Area 1:

- Hamilton Heights, Kingsway West and Wells-Goodfellow

Area 2:

- Hi-Pointe, Clayton-Tamm, Cheltenham and Kings Oak
- Franz Park, The Hill and Southwest Garden
- Ellendale, Clifton Heights and North Hampton
- Tower Grove South, South Grand and Gravois Park
- Tower Grove East, Compton Heights, Shaw, Benton Park West

Area 3:

- Jeff-Vander-Lou, Grand Center, Midtown

The Water Division has not detected any contamination to the water supply but advising people to boil water in caution. Test results should be available by Sunday evening.

Ameren Missouri workers restored power at the treatment plant quickly after Saturday’s storms, but low water pressure remains for some households.

Despite the situation, the city has not issued a boil advisory at this time. St. Louis residents are encouraged to report storm damage or continued low water pressure to the Citizens Service Bureau at 314-622-4800.
