Boil water advisory issued for 20K West Michigan residents

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – More than 20,000 Michigan residents are under a boil water advisory on Monday after a large water main break.

The boil water advisory was issued by the Grand Rapids Water Department on Sunday night after a break on the northeast side of the city. The break impacted water pressure in multiple districts.

As a precaution, Grand Rapids Water customers East of US 131 and North of Hall Street should boil their water as crews work to make repairs due to the loss in pressure for a large area and pressure districts impacted. Communities impacted include the City of Grand Rapids and Grand Rapids Township only.

For residents who live outside of this quadrant, water is safe for use as normal, officials said.
