KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — Kalamazoo city officials have issued a boil water advisory for the South Westnedge neighborhood due to water infrastructure repairs. The advisory, which went into effect on Monday, February 21, includes areas of Evelyn Avenue, South Westnedge Avenue, and South Park Street.
The advisory is in effect the following locations:
Evelyn Avenue – From Westnedge Avenue (western boundary) to Rose Street (eastern boundary), both sides of the street. It does not include the northwest corner of Park Street and Evelyn Avenue and the northeast corner of Rose Street and Evelyn Avenue.
South Westnedge Avenue – Only to northeast corner and southeast corner Evelyn Avenue and South Westnedge Avenue.
South Park Street – Only includes the northeast corner of Evelyn Avenue and Park Street.
Health experts advise residents in these areas to boil their water for two minutes before consuming it, because repairs could cause a drop in pressure, allowing bacteria to enter the system.
City officials are expecting to have the advisory lifted by Thursday, February 24.
