Boil water advisory issued for Milwood Neighborhood in Kalamazoo

KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — A boil water advisory has been issued for Kalamazoo’s Milwood Neighborhood.

City officials say the advisory was prompted Thursday, January 27, by infrastructure repairs which could cause a drop in pressure that could allow bacteria to enter the water system.

The advisory is in effect for Cambridge Drive from Cameron Street to Balkema Drive on both sides of the roadway.

This does not include the southeast corner of Cambridge Drive and Cameron Street, the southwest and southeast corners of Cambridge Drive and Morgan Street, the southwest and southeast corners of Cambridge Drive and Fulford Street, the southwest and southeast corners of Cambridge Drive and Lowell Street, and the southwest and southeast corners of Cambridge Drive and Whittier Drive.

Health officials are advising everyone in the affected area to boil their water for two minutes before consuming it.  Authorities say the advisory is expected to be lifted by Sunday, January 30.
