Boil water advisory ordered in Hebron

Hebron, Conn. (WTNH) - A boil water advisory has been issued for the London Park water system in Hebron.

Officials say homes on Carolyn Drive, Jan Drive, Laura Drive and London Road are affected, about 78 customers.

The advisory is being issued as a precaution because of an equipment failure that allowed the pressure in the water system to drop.

Officials say the equipment has been repaired, but Connecticut Water needs to restore operations and test the water.

Customers can continue to use the water for bathing, cleaning, sanitation or other purposes where the water is not consumed, but water should be boiled before using it for drinking, cooking, food preparation, reconstituting baby formula or using for any purpose where it will be consumed.

The advisory will remain in effect until water samples can be tested to ensure no bacteria got into the water as a result of the low pressure.

The results are expected by Wednesday.
