GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — The City of Grand Rapids and SpartanNash are teaming up to provide water to people affected by the city's boil water notice.
A major water main broke on Sunday, causing low or no water pressure for a large section of the city. About an hour after the water pressure issue was discovered, the city issued a boil water advisory.
Any residents who are impacted by the advisory can pick up a free case of water (one case per vehicle) tonight, Monday, March 18, from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m.
The pickup location is 1635 Leonard St. NE. The city will have temporary signs and staff to direct traffic at the pickup location.
Crews have been working to repair the water main and the city says that the water pressure has been restored for the city. The city says that a boil water advisory will likely last between 3-4 days while they flush the system and test water samples.
The boil water advisory has caused some businesses and public buildings to close until it is lifted, including Grand Rapids Public Schools canceling school for Tuesday, March 19.
