KALAMAZOO (WKZO-AM) — A water main break on Oakhurst Avenue has flooded that street and some basements in southern Kalamazoo.
The city has now declared a boil water advisory for homes and businesses along South Westnedge Avenue from Parker Avenue and Pratt Road.
The break was violent enough to interrupt pressure, making it possible that contaminants could have entered the system at that location. The advisory is precautionary.
The Kalamazoo Water Division will be treating and testing until they are sure the system is safe again.
