LIFTED: Precautionary Boil Advisory for Brookview Lane NE & Laurel Lane NE

THE FOLLOWING BOIL ADVISORY HAS BEEN LIFTED.

The City of Cedar Rapids issued a Precautionary Boil Advisory to customers within the boundary listed below to boil water used for personal consumption.

Affected addresses were on Brookview Lane NE and Laurel Lane NE. A rupture in a water main caused a loss of pressure, which has created a potential for bacteria contamination to occur.

Affected addresses:

- Brookview Lane NE: 6501, 6502, 6505, 6506, 6509, 6510, 6513, 6514, 6517, 6518, 6521, 6522, 6525, 6526, 6529, 6533, 6537

- Laurel Lane NE: 6503, 6504, 6507, 6508, 6511, 6512, 6515, 65616, 6519, 6520, 6523, 6524, 6527, 6528, 6532, 6536, 6540

A map outlining the area is available below.

We advised residents in the affected area to follow these steps for added protection against potential bacteria contamination in water used for consumption only:

1. Bring water to a boil,
2. Let it rapidly boil for at least 1 minute,
3. Allow to cool completely before consuming.

Water in this area is now safe to consume.

Repairs to the system are complete. The area of the break was repaired and flushed and follow-up testing came back absent of bacteria.
