Boil order continues on the West Side

YOUNGSTOWN — A boil water notice is in effect until at least Saturday for residents on the West Side of Youngstown and the East Side of Austintown — specifically those east of Raccoon Road, north of New Road and west of Belle Vista Avenue.

The Youngstown Water Department experienced a water pressure problem Wednesday after a contractor hit a major distribution waterline.

Because of the low water pressure that resulted, the water department is recommending customers in the affected area boil water used for drinking and cooking.

A roiling boil for one minute is adequate.
