Boil Advisory – 3rd Street

For Immediate Release

Date: 4/2/2026

Contact: Don Crose / City of Mansfield Water Repair

Subject: Boil advisory issued

Mansfield, OH- Due to a water main repairs it will be necessary to issue a boil advisory for the following Roads/Streets:

-West 3rd Street from Ausdale Avenue to North Linden Road

-North Linden Road from West 3rd Street to Park Avenue West

-Brickman Avenue from Park Avenue West to Burton Avenue

Under a boil advisory it is suggested that all consumed water be brought to a rolling boil for a full 3 minutes prior to consumption. This is a precautionary measure to be taken until samples can be tested to confirm water purity. A notice will be issued at the completion of the test.

As a standard practice the USEPA recommends the following actions to reduce possible lead exposure in drinking water:

• If water has not been used for several hours, run the tap until there is a noticeable temperature drop. Then, run water for 30 seconds to 3 minutes before using it for drinking and cooking. This helps flush water that may have contained lead that may have leached from plumbing. Use cold water for cooking, drinking, and preparing baby formula. Boiling the water will not reduce lead.• Clean your faucet aerator regularly. For additional information visit drinktap.org or www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Any questions concerning this notice may be directed to the Water Repair Dept. during normal business hours Monday thru Friday 7:00am to 3:30pm at 419-755-9806.
