Update:

At no time did the water pressure drop below 60-75 PSI. Therefore, a boil water advisory is not required for the residential or business districts. The only affected area within West Reading that is under a boil water advisory is the Doctor's Office Building of the hospital. This water line was used to flush air from the system. As a precautionary measure this building has been placed under a boil water advisory until two consecutive days of clean test results have been acheived.

If you experience cloudiness in your water this most likely is a result of operating multiple valves throughout the system and this should clear in a few days.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
