The Tamaqua Borough has issued a water boil advisory for parts of Dutch Hill starting 4 AM tomorrow (Wednesday, July 30, 2014).
A number of residents in the Dutch Hill section received a two-page notice today about the water boil advisory. Page down further to view a copy of the two-page notice, as received by TamaquaArea.com reporter Kathleen Quinn-Farber.
On Monday, July 14, 2014, Tamaqua Water Authority personnel found a leak on the thirty-inch main in the area of Elm Street and Market Street. The main was shut down on July 18, 2014 and temporary repairs were made.

The Tamaqua Water Authority has hired a contractor to replace a full section of the main tomorrow.
During the repairs, temporary service will again be provided by pumping water from the fire hydrant located at Market Street and Union Streets to the hydrant at Union and Elizabeth Streets.
The notice reads: “After repairs have been made and normal service has been restored, the system will be flushed and water samples taken. The water samples will be taken to an independent lab to be tested for bacteria. We will inform you when all corrective actions have been completed and when you no longer need to boil your water.”
The notice asks residents to share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may have not received this notice directly.
It is unknown when the water boil advisory will be lifted.
