LUCASVILLE, Ohio — A boil water advisory is in effect for customers along Blue Run Road, Colegrove Road and Pyle Road in Scioto County, according to the Scioto County Emergency Management Agency.
The advisory, issued by Water One, covers addresses from 734 to 1974 Blue Run Road in addition to all of Colegrove Road and Pyle Road, the agency said in a Facebook post. It will remain in effect until further notice.
Customers in the affected area should boil tap water for at least two minutes before drinking it or using it for cooking to kill any bacteria or other contaminants that may have entered the system, the EMA said. Infants and people with weakened immune systems face the greatest risk from unboiled water, according to the agency.
Boil advisories are typically issued after a loss of water pressure, a water main break or another disruption that could allow contaminants into the distribution system.
Water One, formally known as Scioto County Regional Water District No. 1, is headquartered on state Route 728 in Lucasville. The district, which operates under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 6119 governing regional water and sewer districts, supplies water to customers across eight townships in Scioto County, including the Blue Run Road area.
