Massieville Road neighbors told: don’t drink the tap — boil it first.
CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — Residents along Massieville Road in Ross County are being urged to boil their water before use following a precautionary advisory issued Wednesday by the Ross County Water Company, Inc.
The advisory was prompted by concerns that potentially harmful organisms may have entered the water supply due to a service line issue or main leak. Officials say the advisory is a precautionary measure and will remain in effect until further testing confirms the water is safe.
Affected customers are advised not to drink tap water without boiling it first. Water should be brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute and cooled before use. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, and washing dishes.
The advisory is expected to last 24 to 48 hours, depending on test results. Residents can check the Ross County Water Company outage map and boil alert instructions for updates and detailed guidance.
