Boil advisory issued for Princeton after water main break

HENDERSON, Ky (WEHT) – The City of Princeton Water Utility is issuing a precautionary boil advisory for Princeton water customers who live east of West Street and north of Broadway.

According to city officials, this is due to a water main break that occurred Sunday morning.

Officials state while the potential of contamination of the drinking water is unlikely , the city is advising customers in the affected area to bring all cooking and drinking water to a complete boil for five minutes before using and to continue to boil all cooking and drinking water until notified otherwise necessary.

Officials also state the city is issuing the boil advisory based upon information within the Water Supply Industry regarding additional precautionary steps that may safeguard the health of public water supply system customers.

“The conditions regarding this issue and the magnitude of the affected area warrant these additional precautionary measures.  We will notify you when the boil advisory will be lifted,” officials said.
