Scheduled Boil Water Advisory: Denner, Summit, W North, Jefferson

The City of Kalamazoo is in the process of repairing water infrastructure on Denner Street. This work is scheduled for Tuesday, October 27, 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 or ingestion or any consumptive uses within the affected area (see provided map), including:

• Summit Avenue – From Denner Street (western boundary), to approximately 570 feet east (eastern boundary), both sides of the roadway. It does NOT include the northeast corner of Summit Avenue and Denner Street.
• Denner Street – From Summit Avenue (northern boundary) to Forbes Street (southern boundary), both sides of the roadway.
• West North Street – From Denner Street (western boundary) to approximately 635 feet east (eastern boundary), both sides of the roadway.
• Jefferson Avenue- Only the northeast corner of Jefferson Avenue and Denner 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 (October 30).

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