From the City of Lock Haven: Boil Water Advisory

The Residents of 501 & 503 W. Brown Street, 1-16 Greenwood Ave., and 526 Grape St. may be at increased risk for Microbial Contamination. On Wednesday, October 21, 2026, we experienced a loss of positive water pressure due to a main break.

Residents should not drink the water without boiling it first. Bring all water to a rolling boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it cool before using; or use bottled water. You should use boiled or bottled water for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth, and food preparation until further notice.

We will inform you when all corrective actions have been completed and when you no longer need to boil your water. For more information, please contact the Water Department at 570-893-5909.
