BOIL ADVISORY
A boil advisory has been issued for the City of Ashton Tuesday morning following pressure loss while replacing isolation valves.

Tap water may be used for bathing and similar purposes. The boil advisory will be lifted once water samples indicate the water is safe to drink.
Residents should bring water to a boil for one minute and let cool, or use bottled water. For more information on guidelines to reduce risk of infection, call the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800-426-4791.
