Boil order issued for some Massac County water customers

Fort Massac Water District in Massac County reported Wednesday they repaired a water leak on Highway 145 and issued a boil order as a precaution for some customers.

They said those who live along Highway 145 between Powers Church and the Old Veach’s building, including all of Waldo Church Road, Deer Run Road, Adam’s Way, Wesley Drive, Country Acres Lane and Old Orchard Road, should boil all drinking water.

The order will last until the lab results are analyzed, which officials said could take until Friday morning.

Anyone who lives close to the affected area and isn’t sure if they are included in the order can call Fort Massac Water at 618-543-7475.
