A power outage Tuesday morning has left the Town of Morris under a boil water advisory.

A distribution pump failure this morning has led to the loss of water pressure in the Town of Morris distribution.

There will be another water test being conducted later today, but to ensure public health protection this advisory will be in place well into Friday, March 1.

Water users must be advised that all water used for consumption be brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute.

As an alternative, individuals may also choose to use a known safe source of water such as bottled water. Water may be used for general domestic purposes including hand washing, bathing and showering (provided the water is not swallowed), dishwashing and laundry.

More information will be added as it's available.
