Boil Water Advisory For South of Green River, Brownsville, and Many North of River Customers

Darren Doyle, story:
The Edmonson County Water District has issued a boil water advisory because of a break in a main transmission line, according to District General Manager Tony Sanders. The advisory affects a large number of water customers in the city limits of Brownsville, all customers south of the river, and several areas north of the Green River.

The advisory states the following:

"The potential exists for bacteriological contamination due to low pressure or no pressure. The Boil Water advisory includes all customers on the south of the Green River INCLUDING the City of Brownsville. The Boil Water Advisory also includes all customers on the North side of Green River including the communities of Brownsville, Windyville, Sunfish, Round Hill, Poplar Springs, Kyrock, Lindseyville, Bee Springs, Moutardier, Ambassador Shores, and Dickies Mill Rd and ending on HWY 259 at the intersection of Van Meter School Road in Grayson County. Nolin Dam Road is also included and intersecting side roads, beginning at the intersection of Hwy 259 and ending at the intersection of Wilderness Rd. and Hwy 728. Wilderness Road and Cave Hollow Bay are also included."

The advisory said you must boil water to a rolling boil for three minutes.

The advisory will remain in effect until water samples have been taken and the threat of contamination has been eliminated to the satisfaction of the Environmental Protection Agency.
