Boil Water Advisory Lifted: E Mosel Ave

This advisory has been lifted.

The City of Kalamazoo is in the process of repairing water infrastructure on East Mosel Avenue. The work resulted in a temporary loss of pressure and consequently, a precautionary boil water advisory is being issued in cooperation with the Kalamazoo County Health and Community Services Department for all water intended for drinking or ingestion or any consumptive uses within the affected area, including:

  • East Mosel Avenue- From Upper Riverview Drive (western boundary) to Sonora Street (eastern boundary), both sides of the roadway. It does not include the southeast corner of Upper Riverview Drive and East Mosel Avenue. It also does not include the northwest and southwest corners of East Mosel and Sonora Street.

This advisory is precautionary only; there have not been any confirmed tests showing bacteria present in the water main at the location of the infrastructure repair. Initial sampling results will be available within 24 hours of its collection and the final set within 48 hours. It is expected that the advisory will be lifted within 72 hours (September 18). City of Kalamazoo employees may be tasked with obtaining samples directly from customers. Assistance with obtaining samples would be greatly appreciated.

Municipal water customers in the affected area may use bottled water for consumptive purposes or boil their tap water for 2 minutes prior to use for drinking or other ingestion. No special precautionary measures are necessary for water used for personal hygiene.
