Boil Water Advisory is Lifted

September 12, 2025 at 3:19 pm – Boil Water Advisory is Lifted

Today is September 10, 2025. This is the Ebensburg Municipal Authority Water Department. Relocation of a hydrant has resulted in a boil water advisory for customers at 175 Industrial Park Road, 656 Industrial Park Road, and 188 Industrial Park Road. The water company cannot confirm when the advisory will be lifted. Loss of pressure can interfere with disinfection and provide a medium for microbial growth. Low pressure may indicate the presence of disease-causing organisms. The organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites, which can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea and associated headaches. All affected customers are advised not to drink their water without boiling it first.
