Wayne County residents still under a boil water advisory 24 hours after main break
WAYNE COUNTY, IN — A segment of Wayne County residents between Centerville and Richmond are still under a boil water advisory, more than 24 hours after Indiana American Water reported a Main Break on Wednesday.
The break, an employee at the Reid Health PACE Center (2300 W. National Road, Richmond) said, occurred near the exit of its property and American Water workers were still working on it when employees left for the day.
Although city and water officials wouldn’t confirm details Thursday, an employee at the McDonald’s at 3126 W. National Road said it was still under a boil water advisory as of noon Thursday.
It is not clear how many customers have been affected by the boil water advisory.
The alert on American Water’s website was last updated at 12:12 p.m. Thursday, but it does not state that it’s been resolved.
The alert says water used for drinking and cooking should be brought to a rolling boil for three minutes, and that water for bathing, washing and other common uses are OK to use.
