Boil Water Advisory Issued for Nearly 5,000 Indiana American Customers in Charlestown

charlestown indiana boil water advisory – Nearly 5,000 Indiana American Water customers in Charlestown are currently under a boil water advisory following a pump failure at the company’s Gospel Road water tank. The issue caused a drop in water pressure for nearly 10 minutes early Monday morning, prompting the utility to issue the advisory as a precautionary measure.

The advisory, which affects residents and businesses in the area, is expected to last for 24 hours, with an estimated end time of 9:30 a.m. Tuesday. During this time, customers are advised to boil their water before consumption to ensure it is safe for drinking, cooking, and other household uses.

In a statement, Indiana American Water apologized for any inconvenience the situation may have caused and reassured residents that they are working to resolve the issue. The utility also encouraged customers to stay updated on the status of the advisory through their website or customer service.

While the advisory is temporary, residents in the affected area should take necessary precautions until the all-clear is given. As a reminder, boiling water for at least one minute will kill most harmful pathogens and make the water safe for consumption.

The company is continuing to monitor the situation and will notify customers once the advisory has been lifted.
