A water main break on Julia Anne Dr. NW between Sue Ln. NW and 1^st Ave. NW has caused a disruption to normal distribution operation, which has created a potential for bacteria contamination to occur. We are advising residents at only the listed addresses to follow these steps for added protection.

• Bring water to a boil
• Let it rapidly boil for at least 1 minute
• Allow to cool completely before consuming
• DO NOT USE BOILED WATER IF YOU ARE PREGNANT, NURSING OR PREPARING FORMULA FOR INFANTS - USE ONLY BOTTLED WATER

Repairs are complete, pressure has been restored, flushing of the affected area has occurred, chlorine levels are being monitored, and bacteria samples will be collected for analysis. We anticipate completed results of bacteria analysis by Sunday, April 24, at 12 p.m., noon, at which time this advisory will be either lifted or extended. Please check the website at CityofCR.com for up-to-date notifications, or call the Cedar Rapids Water Department at 319-286-5910.

The water department stresses that this Advisory is PRECAUTIONARY and is limited to the addresses listed above.
