GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — A boil water advisory that was issued on Tuesday for some Grand Rapids customers has been lifted, Water System officials said Thursday.
The advisory was in place for residents along 28th Street to the north, Vineland Avenue to the west, Breton Avenue on the east and along 32nd Street to the south. All customers in the area were told to not drink their water without boiling it first.
The order was issued because a valve malfunctioned near 28th Street and Birchcrest SE around 1:30 p.m., causing a reduction in water pressure. The issue was resolved around 2:40 p.m.
It is no longer necessary to use bottled water or to boil water before drinking it, water officials said.
No bacteria have been detected in the follow-up testing of the system’s water, indicating that it is safe to drink.
