The City of Kalamazoo, in cooperation with Fer-Pal is in the process of connecting a new water main on Moreland Avenue. This work is scheduled for Friday, August 7, 2026, starting at approximately 8:00 a.m., at which time the water will be shut off. The work will result 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, ingestion, or any consumptive uses within the following affected area:
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 business hours of sample collection, and the final results will be available within 48 hours. It is expected that the advisory will be lifted within 72 business hours (August 12).
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.
