Water main break causes boil water advisory for State College

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (WTAJ) — The State College Borough Water Authority has announced that some residents may be under a boil water advisory.

This comes after a water main break and equipment failure which created a loss of positive pressure in a portion of the distribution system on Monday, Aug. 28. The loss of positive pressure lasted somewhere between several minutes to one half hour.

Crews are repairing a main break along N. Oak Lane. Full water service will be restored to those impacted residents as soon as possible. For additional information including a full listing of the streets impacted please see the attached map and documents.
