The Southeastern CT Water Authority has issued a boil water advisory for all customers in the Gales Ferry Tower Division after a water main break Monday near the Tower Division pumphouse.
The break was repaired within two hours and the water authority has issued a boil water advisory as a precaution for all customers in the Gales Ferry Tower Division until water samples can be collected.
The water authority expects to return to compliance by Wednesday.
They said the risk of contamination is very small, but customers are encouraged to boil water for one minute, use bottled bottle or use an alternative source of drinking water until new samples are analyzed and approved by the State Department of Public Health.
