UPDATED- Water Line Maintenance and Water Service Disruption-December 1
S. Walnut St., E. Truesdell St., and Doan St
LOCATION – S. Walnut St., E. Truesdell St., and Doan St, Wilmington, OH
The City of Wilmington announces that water line maintenance previously scheduled for
Wednesday November 26 has been rescheduled to take place on Monday, December 1. This
maintenance will cause water service disruption in the Southeast Quadrant, specifically on S.
Walnut St., E. Truesdell St., and Doan St. This repair may cause additional disruptions in water
quality, including discolored water and/or potentially a temporary increase in lead levels in the
drinking water. A boil advisory has not been issued at this time.
As a standard practice, the USEPA recommends the following action 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 or 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.
• For additional information visit drinktap.org or www.epa.gov/safewater/lead
Questions regarding the water service disruption and water quality notice may be made to the
City Services Office at (937) 382-6509 or to the City Water Plant at (937)-382-3614.
