City of Ann Arbor
The city advises that water should be boiled for at least one minute and allowed to cool in a covered container. Bottled water can be used as an alternative to boiling.
City officials said in a news release Thursday morning that the water system was depressurized due to a city contractor conducting scheduled valve maintenance on the northeast side. Any time there is a loss of water system pressure, a boil water advisory is issued as a precautionary measure.
The city said there was no indication there was any actual contamination.
