ST. JOSEPH, Mich. — A boil water advisory impacting the St. Joseph area was lifted Tuesday after a water main break over the weekend.
The city of St. Joseph says the water main break happened near Hickory Creek and Marquette Woods Road on Saturday.
We’re told flushing procedures began immediately and were finished Monday. Water samples are currently undergoing tests. The advisory was issued Monday and lifted a day later after tests come back clean and the state of Michigan agreed the water was safe.
Until it was lifted, the advisory impacted Lincoln Township, Stevensville, Royalton Township, St. Joseph Township west of the St. Joseph River, and Shoreham. Residents are now advised to let their faucets run for a few minutes to ensure their water lines are fresh.
The advisory did not affect the city of St. Joseph, officials say.
