TOLEDO, Ohio — The city of Toledo has issued a boil advisory for approximately 70 customers in south Toledo, according to a public utilities announcement issued Friday.
The boil advisory was issued due to a repair or disruption that could cause contamination, but there is no evidence at this time that contamination has occurred, the city said. Public utilities employees will test the water to ensure its safety.
The advisory took effect at 1:44 p.m. Friday and will last until Tuesday at 5 p.m. It includes 69 water customers in the following areas:
- Brighton Avenue from Prouty Avenue to South Avenue.
- Hampton Avenue from South Avenue to Grafton Avenue.
During a boil advisory, it is recommended affected residents do the following:
Run cold water taps to flush lines, then boil water for drinking and cooking.
- Flush all taps used for drinking and cooking by running cold faucets for at least 3 minutes.
- Boil the water for 3 minutes and cool before using (or use bottled water). Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making formula, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and preparing food until this advisory expires. You may resume normal tap water use at that time unless notified that the advisory is extended.
- If your water appears discolored, avoid washing clothes or using the hot water taps until you have run the cold water faucets and the water clears.
Those with questions regarding the advisory should call Engage Toledo at 419-936-2020. Facilities registered with the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department may call 419-213-4100 and select Option 3 during regular business hours.
