Perkins, Groton, & Oxford Township - There is a water main break on Columbus Ave. between Perkins Ave and Strub Rd. There are many customers outside that area that will experience low water pressure. Once water service is restored, there will be at least a 24 hour boil advisory. A boil advisory means you should vigorously boil your water 1 to 2 minutes before consumption. Crews have isolated the break and are beginning excavation to repair the break. An update will follow. Out of precaution, we are issuing a boil advisory for the area highlighted in red.

We would like to thank the Erie County Board of Developmental Disabilities for providing us with bags for our ambulance...
