OSCODA — The Charter Township of Oscoda Water Department has issued a precautionary boil water advisory for Hangars 2-4 and 6-10 in the Oscoda Charter Township water system.
The advisory is in effect through June 12. The advisory is the result of a planned water service interruption held on Tuesday, June 9.
Residents and water users in the affected areas should boil all water before using it. Water should be brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute and then allowed to cool before use. Bottled water may also be used.
Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and preparing food. Bacteria are common in the environment and are generally not harmful. However, the advisory is being issued as a precaution to protect public health.
The Charter Township of Oscoda will restore system pressure as quickly as possible, flush the water distribution system and collect bacteriological samples to verify water quality.
The advisory will remain in place until laboratory testing confirms that the water meets state drinking water standards.
