PORTAGE, Mich. (WOOD) — A water main break has prompted a boil water advisory in Portage.

The advisory is in effect on sections of Bender Road, Fairfield Road, and Portage Road.

Everyone in the affected area should boil their water for at least one minute before consuming it. It’s safe to bathe in the water without boiling it.

Water main breaks cause a pressure drop, which can allow bacteria to enter the system. The boil water advisory is precautionary.

Authorities say the water is being tested to determine its safety. The advisory will be lifted when bacteriological samples confirm the water’s safety.
