Tecumseh, MI – The City of Tecumseh has issued a boil water advisory. They estimate the advisory to be Tuesday, January 14th. Here is the complete statement:
“DRINKING WATER WARNING –
BOIL ADVISORY
City of Tecumseh lost pressure and contamination may have occurred.
BOIL YOUR WATER BEFORE USING
Due to a drop in pressure in the City of Tecumseh water supply, bacterial contamination may have occurred in the water system. Bacteria are generally not harmful and are common throughout our environment. Corrective measures are currently being undertaken to correct the situation.
The boil advisory is out of caution and recommendation by the State of Michigan due to a low water pressure issue that began on January 12.
What should I do?
DO NOT DRINK THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST. Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and preparing food. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water. Continue using boiled or bottled water until further notice.
(Estimated end of Advisory is Tuesday, January 14 by noon)
What happened? What is being done?
These precautionary actions are being taken due to the loss of water pressure in the water distribution system caused by a Low-Pressure System Warning and multiple Water Main Breaks on January 12. Whenever a water system loses pressure for any significant length of time, precautionary measures are recommended.
