Water is back on as of 4:07 P.M.
Please note that it may take some time for water to reach all customers as it moves through the distribution system. Pressure will gradually return to normal.
Milesburg Borough Water Authority May Be At Increased Risk From Microbial Contamination.
We routinely monitor the conditions in the distribution system. On February 7, 2026 , we experienced a
loss of positive water pressure due to water main break . A loss of positive water pressure is a signal of the
existence of conditions that could allow contamination to enter the distribution system through backflow by
backpressure or backsiphonage. As a result, there is an increased chance that the water may contain disease-causing
organisms.
What should I do?
DO NOT DRINK THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST. Bring all water to a rolling boil, let it boil for one minute,
and let it cool before using; or use bottled water. You should use boiled or bottled water for drinking, making ice,
washing dishes, brushing teeth, and food preparation until further notice.
Inadequately treated water may contain disease-causing organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and
parasites, which can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches.
These symptoms, however, are not caused only by organisms in drinking water, but also by other factors. If you
experience any of these symptoms and they persist, you may want to seek medical advice.
Guardians of infants and young children and people at increased risk, such as pregnant women, some of the elderly,
and people with severely compromised immune systems, should seek advice from their health care advisors about
drinking this water. General guidelines on ways to lessen the risk of infection by microbes are available from EPA’s
Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1 (800) 4264791.
