SOUTH HAVEN, Michigan — If you had low or no water pressure at any point Friday within the City of South Haven, you'll want to boil your water until further notice.

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, officials will announce that the water is safe for consumption.
