Boil water notice issued for Central Lake
CENTRAL LAKE — The village of Central Lake on Tuesday issued a boil water notice. The village experienced a water main valve break on Green Street, officials said. The break resulted in a loss of pressure for Central Lake residents. Once water service is fully restored, residents are advised to boil their water before using, officials said, because bacterial contamination may occur in the water system. Residents and businesses, including food establishments, are affected. Whenever a water system loses pressure for any significant length of time, precautionary measures are recommended, officials said.
