Village of Holly issues boil water advisory
A water main break Saturday has prompted a village-wide boil water advisory in Holly.
The break occurred on Quick Road west of North Holly Road, according to a release from the Village of Holly. The advisory took effect at 5 p.m. Saturday and applies to all village water customers.
Customers in the immediate area of the break have no water until it is repaired, officials said. Other nearby areas may see lower than normal water pressure.
As a precaution, residents should boil tap water for at least one minute and let it cool before drinking it, cooking with it, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, preparing food or giving water to pets, officials said. Bottled water can also be used.
Tap water can still be used for bathing, showering, laundry and general cleaning, though residents should avoid swallowing water while bathing or showering, officials said.
The village’s Department of Public Works is working to restore the system to normal operation. The advisory will stay in effect until water-quality testing confirms the water is safe to drink, officials said.
The village will notify residents when the advisory is lifted through its website, social media and local news outlets. Residents should not assume the advisory has ended until an official notice is issued, officials said.
Questions can be directed to the village offices at 248-634-9571.
