A line break and distribution pump failure Friday has led to a Boil Water Advisory being issued for a portion of the Municipality of Emerson-Franklin. The Advisory is in effect for the West Lynn section of the public water system.

Until further notice, all water used for consumption should be brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute before it's used for drinking and ice making, preparing beverages and food as well as brushing teeth. It's not necessary to boil tap water for other household purposes including laundry and washing dishes.

According to a post on the Municipality's Facebook page, the water is expected to last until lat least Monday and possibly longer.
