PRECAUTIONARY BOIL WATER ADVISORY LIFTED FOR PORTIONS OF FAIRLAWN HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD

Akron, Ohio, March 1, 2019 (9:30 PM) – The City of Akron’s boil water advisory for Akron Water customers in portions of the Fairlawn Heights Neighborhood has now been lifted.  Yesterday (Thursday, February 28)  the City issued a precautionary boil water advisory for portions of the Fairlawn Heights Neighborhood following a water main break in the area. Water testing completed over the past 24 hours has confirmed the drinking water is safe.  EPA regulations require the City to perform testing over a 24 hour period to ensure that the drinking water is safe before a precautionary boil water advisory can be lifted. Customers are no longer required to boil their drinking water or take any special precautions. Water is safe to consume and can be used normally.

Questions should be directed to Akron Water Distribution Dispatch at (330) 375-2420.
