Scheduled Boil Water Advisory Lifted: Farrell, Hylle, Westfall

This advisory has been lifted.

The City of Kalamazoo is in the process of repairing the water infrastructure on Farrell Avenue. This work is scheduled for Thursday, June 12, 2025, 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, including:

• Farrell Avenue- From Hylle Street (northern boundary) to West Michigan Avenue (southern boundary), both sides of the roadway.
• Hylle Street- From Westfall Avenue (western boundary) to Farrell Avenue (eastern boundary), both sides of the roadway. It does not include the southeast corner of Hylle Street and Westfall Avenue.
• Westfall Avenue- Only includes 815 Westfall Avenue.

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 (June 15). 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.
