A malfunction caused the water pressure to drop, which increases the risk of disease-causing organisms in the water.

You should boil the water for at least one minute and let it cool before using it.

You can also bring a container to fill up water to the Limerick Township building -- at 640 North Lewis Road -- the Limerick Diner and outside the Giant and Target on Ridge Pike.
