“To allow the work to be completed, the large transmission main in this area must be drained, requiring GVW to issue a precautionary boil water notice to customers in the affected area.”

The boil water notice will be in effect starting Nov. 7 at 9 p.m. until sampling results confirm that the drinking water is safe.
