Boil Water Advisory Lifted: W Kilgore Rd, Glenrose Ter, Morningside Dr

This advisory has been lifted.

The City of Kalamazoo is in the process of repairing water infrastructure on West Kilgore Road. 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:

• West Kilgore Road – From approximately 200 feet east of Skyler Drive (western boundary) to Morningside Drive (eastern boundary), both sides of the roadway.
• Glenrose Terrace – From West Kilgore Road (southern boundary) north to the end of the Cul-de-Sac (northern boundary).
• Morningside Drive- Only includes the southwest corner of Morningside Drive and West Kilgore Road.

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 (January 10). 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.
