Boil water advisory for Kalamazoo’s Milwood Neighborhood

KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — The city of Kalamazoo has issuing a boil water advisory for the Milwood neighborhood due to water infrastructure repairs.

The advisory in effect for residents in the areas of Keenway Circle and Royce Avenue.

• Keenway Circle — Both sides of the street between the western intersection of Royce avenue (western boundary) to the eastern intersection with Royce Avenue (eastern boundary).  Does not include 765 Keenway Circle and the southern most building of 750 Keenway Circle.
• Royce Avenue — Only 701 and 711 Royce Avenue.

Everyone in the affected area should boil their water for two minutes before consuming it.  It’s safe to bathe in the water without boiling it.

The repairs cause a drop in pressure, which can allow bacteria to enter the system.

Authorities say that tests confirming the water’s safety should be back soon and expect to have the advisory lifted by Saturday, March 26.
