KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD) — A water main break has prompted a boil water advisory in Kalamazoo.
The advisory is in effect in the following areas:
- Roseland Avenue – From Portage Road (western boundary) to Cameron (eastern boundary), both sides of the roadway. It does NOT include the southwest corner of Roseland Avenue and Cameron Street. It also does NOT include the northeast corner of Portage Road and Roseland Avenue.
- Harvard Street – Only includes southwest and southeast corners of Roseland Avenue and Harvard Street.
- Pasadena Street – Only includes the northeast corner of Pasadena Street and Roseland Avenue.
Everyone in the affected area should boil their water for two minutes before consuming it. It’s safe to bathe in the water without boiling it.
Water main breaks cause a drop in pressure, which can allow bacteria to enter the system. The boil water advisory is precautionary; no bacteria had been found in the system as of Saturday.
