The city of Kittitas has issued a boil water notice to its residents. This means everyone in the city limits should be careful of their tap water as it could contain harmful bacteria. The city recommends people boil their water to kill any potentially harmful bacteria.
The notice is in effect until Friday night although the city will post an update to its Facebook page that morning. Lori Chaffee, utility billing with the City of Kittitas, said they made it a 48-hour advisory just to be extra careful.
The notice came after an underground water pipe burst on the 300 block of North Pierce Street â between Patrick Avenue and Third.
