HORSHAM, Pa. (CBS) -- A boil water advisory has been issued for a portion of Horsham, Montgomery County, causing schools to be closed on Friday.
The Horsham Water & Sewer Authority sent the notice to customers within the area bounded by Limekiln Pike, County Line, Blair Mill and Welsh Roads.
The advisory has been issued due to a malfunction of the disinfection system at one of the operating wells.
"Horsham Water & Sewer Authority advises you to use boiled or bottled water for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation until further notice," they said in a statement.
The water and sewer authority believes this situation has been resolved, but the advisory remains in place as a precautionary measure until lab results confirm the issue is resolved.
It is not known yet how long the advisory will be in place for.
Due to the water emergency, all Hatboro-Horsham schools are closed Friday, June 1.
All office staff, secretaries, and 12-month employees please are to report to your building at the normal time.
