Some Akron Water customers under a precautionary boil water advisory

AKRON, Ohio (WOIO) - The City of Akron Water Division has issued a precautionary boil water advisory for customers in the Northampton, Smith Road, and the Boston Township areas.

Officials said a water break happened around 1 p.m. on Monday due to construction along Akron-Peninsula Road.

The main was shut off around 4 p.m. Monday for repairs and turned back on around 7 p.m. Monday.

The boil water advisory was issued because depressurization did happen.

Water used for drinking or cooking should be brought to a full boil for a minimum of two minutes before use.

This advisory will be in effect until further notice, but for a minimum of 24 hours, said water department officials.
