GOSHEN, Ind. — The Goshen Water & Sewer Department issued a boil water advisory for several addresses along East Lincoln Avenue and South Fifth Street following water system work Tuesday, Sept. 22.

Crews shut off a water main valve beginning at 10 a.m. to replace a fire hydrant. The boil water advisory took effect after water service resumed.

The advisory affects the following addresses:

  • 205 E. Lincoln Ave.
  • 206 E. Lincoln Ave.

Boil water advisory remains in effect until testing is complete

Customers should bring all drinking and cooking water to a complete boil for five minutes before use. They should continue boiling water until the department lifts the advisory. Water remains safe for showering and flushing toilets.

The department tests water in 24-hour cycles. It will lift the advisory after two sets of samples taken 24 hours apart show no contamination.

The department also asks customers in the affected area to conserve water and use only what they need for household and personal needs.

The City will update this post when the boil water advisory is lifted.
