The Calvert City Water System experienced a main break in the area near the intersection of 14th Ave. and Colorado Street. To repair the main a portion of the system had to be shut-down. The main has been repaired and placed back into service. A boil water advisory has been placed into effect for customers located along the following streets until further notice: Colorado Street, Carolina Street, 14th & 15th Avenue.
During the duration of the Boil Water Advisory, all water used for drinking or food preparation should be brought to a rolling boil for three minutes. Customers should flush household pipes/faucets, home automatic ice makers, water fountains, etc. Customers with infants, elderly or immune-compromised individuals should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.
Samples are being obtained from the system and test results should be obtained in 24 to 48 hours at which time the advisory will be lifted provided all tests are negative.
