Boil Advisory – Paxford Place

Date: 9/24/2026
Contact: Fred Reiter / City of Mansfield Water Repair
Subject: Boil advisory issued
Mansfield, OH- Due to a water main repair it will be necessary to issue a boil advisory for the
following address:
Paxford Place from South Trimble Road to South Linden Road.
Under a boil advisory it is suggested that all consumed water be brought to a rolling boil for a full 3
minutes prior to consumption. This is a precautionary measure to be taken until samples can be
tested to confirm water purity. A notice will be issued at the completion of the test.
As a standard practice the USEPA recommends the following actions to reduce possible lead
exposure in drinking water:

• If water has not been used for several hours, run the tap until there is a noticeable temperature
  drop. Then, run water for 30 seconds to 3 minutes before using it for drinking and cooking.
  This helps flush water that may have contained lead that may have leached from plumbing. Use
  cold water for cooking, drinking, and preparing baby formula. Boiling the water will not
  reduce lead.• Clean your faucet aerator regularly.

  Any questions concerning this notice may be directed to the Water Repair Dept. during normal
  business hours Monday thru Friday 7:00am to 3:30pm at 419-755-9806.
