CINCINNATI -- Fire up your stove, because Greater Cincinnati Water Works says that new state regulations will require more Boil Water Advisories be issued.
Water works officials said that the quality of its water has not diminished, and that they still "meet or exceed all regulations and will continue to take numerous precautions and conduct tests to ensure the water is safe when the main is restored to service."
A new regulation enacted by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency requires the additional advisories, which are are issued when a water main break may have resulted in a risk to water quality.
Greater Cincinnati Water Works does bacterial westing when a water main is put back into service after a break, the agency said in a news release.
When they do issue a Boil Water Advisory, water works staff will place door hangers in the affected area and share info online via social media and at myGCWW.org.
