Boil Water Advisory for Portion of Downtown Paintsville

Due to a main line break, although no contamination has been confirmed, Paintsville Utilities has voluntarily issued a boil water advisory for the following area:

Beginning at the corner of Court Street and Second Street, up to but not including West Street.

This advisory is being issued as a precautionary measure and is in effect until further notice.

Paintsville Utilities advises all customers in the affected areas to boil their water before using it for drinking, making ice, cooking, washing dishes, brushing teeth or food preparation. Bring all water to a rolling boil, let it boil for three minutes, and let it cool before using. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.
