There is a boil water advisory in place for part of South Haven. the city’s public works department has released the following:
On July 29, 2022, there was a water main break that staff had to remove and repair a section of pipe on Phoenix Street which caused the water pressure on Phoenix from Blue Star Highway to Cherry Ct, 300 block of Cherry Ct., Itzen Ct., and Bradley Ave. (see Attachment 1) to drop below 20 psi.
Due to the water pressure reduction within the affected service area, the Michigan Environment, Great Lakes & Energy (EGLE) requires SHAWSA (WSSN 06101) to notify customers to boil their water before consumption. This boil water notice affects all customers in the attached maps’ service area.
Water for drinking, cooking, and making ice should be boiled and cooled before consumption to ensure the destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes. The water should be brought to a vigorous, rolling boil and then boiled for two minutes. Instead of boiling, you may purchase bottled water or obtain water from a suitable alternate source When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, the water system officials will notify you that the water is safe for consumption. The rescind notice will be issued in the same manner as this Boil
Water Notice.
The Department of Public Works apologizes for the inconvenience to our customers. If you have questions regarding this matter, you may contact Quentin Clark, Water/Sewer/Streets Superintendent, at 269-637-0737.
