Boil Water Advisory
Details regarding Boil Water Advisories appear here.
To: Appalachian customers in Crestmont, Sagamore Hills, and lower Park Avenue - 742 Park Avenue down to 129 Park Avenue. See Details below.
You were notified on November 30, 2024 of a potential problem with our drinking water and were advised to boil your water.
We are pleased to report that the problem has been corrected and that it is no longer necessary to boil your water.
We repaired a main line on November 30th and then collected two days of water samples as required by the PADEP. Water sample laboratory reports have been reviewed and all samples were absent for bacteria.
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly.
Appalachian rarely needs to issue a Boil Water Advisory. In most cases of a necesssary repair, positive water pressure is maintained to prevent potential contamination from entering a water line. Positive pressure and flushing are typically used to prevent the introduction of bacteria into the water system
In the event of an Advisory, notice will be published in the local newspaper, local radio stations, and local news stations. Once the Boil Water Advisory is lifted, notice that it is lifted will be posted here and provided to media sources. It generally takes at least 48 hours to receive test results for bacteria samples before the advisory can be lifted. Two consecutive days of sampling is required by the Pennsylvania DEP.
Boiling water for at least one minute will kill bacteria if any are present. It is recommended that all your water sources be flushed by letting the water run for a few minutes when the Boil Water Advisory is lifted.
