Summary
A major water main break in Covington has left neighborhoods near South Howard Ave and West Liberty St without water or with dangerously low pressure. The city has issued a boil water advisory — meaning you must boil tap water for at least one minute before using it for drinking or cooking. If boiling isn’t possible, add a quarter teaspoon of unscented bleach per gallon and let it sit 30 minutes. Bottled water is also safe. Repairs are underway, and water safety testing will follow — you’ll be notified when it’s safe to turn your tap back on. Check with Covington Public Works for exact affected areas and updates.
