The outage will affect 1437 through 2628 U.S. 42, 1856 and 1858 Columbia Road, and all of Bone Road. 

This automatically requires a boil advisory as soon as water pressure is restored.  Once water comes back, customers are advised to boil water vigorously for two minutes before using it, and to use bottled water for drinking and cooking. 

Once the water tests good, the boil advisory will be dropped.
