District spokesperson Kadie Hearn said the notice was issued as a precaution  because of a break in the water line causing the system to lose pressure.

Just after 9 a.m. Tuesday, a main break was reported on Culkin Road just north of the Mount Alban Road intersection.

The loss of pressure can cause contaminants to siphon in the water system. Once pressure is restored, water system officials will take samples for testing.

Traffic was cut down to one lane as crews worked to repair the break Tuesday. Warren County sheriff’s deputies helped the water district direct traffic.

It was after 5 p.m. Tuesday before the break was repaired.
