Boil order issued for Jasper neighborhood

Update: The boil order was extended at least an additional 48 hours as of Sunday morning.

Thursday morning, a water line at 15th Street, between Greene and Royal Streets broke. Due to the nature of the work that took place this morning the City of Jasper Gas & Water Department has issued a neighborhood boil order effective immediately for all customers on 15th Street between Greene and Royal Streets due to the line being replaced.

A boil water advisory is issued when some type of event has created the potential for contamination to enter the water supply. See the attached guidelines for public health regarding boil orders.

City officials will be testing water samples over the next few days to determine when the water is safe to consume.
