Boil Water Advisory could be lifted today for Audubon

Brian Juelsgaard, Audubon Public Works, said a private plumbing company was disconnecting a property from the lines and part of the main separated, causing the leak. Juelsgaard said the repair work was completed that day, but testing had to be done before the advisory was cleared.

Foran said the first test had been completed and came back “all fine,” and if the second test is also good the advisory should be lifted tomorrow. The advisory covered an area mostly on the northwest side of town, but he said those who lost water should follow the boil water recommendations until the advisory is lifted.

He said that the southern-most report he’d heard about the effects of the water main break was Davenport Street and those areas of East Division north of Broadway Street and north of Northwestern between Highway 71 and East Division should boil their water or use bottled water until further notice.
