GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The City of Grand Rapids will continue hosting water bottle distribution for those impacted by the ongoing Boil Water Advisory. Affected residents will be provided one (1) case of water per vehicle, courtesy of SpartanNash, from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., March 20, 2024 while supplies last.
Drivers are asked to access the distribution point located at the Huff Park baseball field parking lot at 2399 Ball Ave NE.
On 17 March, the City of Grand Rapids issued a formal Boil Water Advisory for the area generally bounded East of US 131 and North of Hall Street. The notice is required due to a water main break in the vicinity of Leonard St. NE and Union Ave. NE.
Crews have completed repairs and water pressure has been restored. A typical Boil Water Advisory lasts 3-4 days as we flush the system and sample according to State and Federal requirements once the main break is fixed.
"If you are in the affected area, DO NOT drink tap water without boiling it first. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation until further notice," advised the authorities.
For further inquiries or to report a water/sewer emergency, individuals can contact customer service by dialing 616-456-3000, or dial 3-1-1 if they are within the city limits.
