Customers Affected By Water Main Break In Carroll Under Boil Advisory

Residents affected by the water main break in Carroll Monday morning have been placed under a boil advisory. At the direction of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the city issued the advisory for customers on the west side of Main Street between and including the Knights of Columbus building south to West 5th Street. The advisory is only in effect for the customers whose water was off today as a direct result of the water main break. The DNR recommends all water used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth or preparing food be brought to a boil for a least one minute before use. City Manager, Mike Pogge-Weaver, says city staff will be in direct contact with customers impacted by the order. Repairs are now complete to the water main, and city officials believe water service will be operational in the next few hours once flush procedures are conducted. A series of precautionary bacteria tests will be made to ensure water is safe for consumption before the advisory is lifted. Any questions can be directed to the City of Carroll Water Department by calling 792-1000.
