Occupants of the following BGSU buildings should not drink the water: Falcon Heights, the Jordan Family Development Center, the BCI building, Technology building, Architecture building, College Park Office Building, the Shuttle Office, and maintenance building.
People in those buildings are advised to use bottled water for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, and food preparation. The water is safe for bathing. BGSU is working on providing bottled water for residents of Falcon Heights. It will be available at the front desk.
Contaminants may enter the water system when a water main is depressurized. The City will make the necessary repairs to restore the water service as soon as possible. After the repairs are made, the water system will be flushed, samples will be taken, and bacteriological testing will be performed to ensure all drinking water standards are met. A Water Boil Advisory will be in effect until 12:00 PM three (3) days after the Advisory is issued. If the Water Boil Advisory needs to be extended, the affected customers will be notified.
