The loss of pressure could allow contamination in the distribution system, officials say.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">About 1,500 customers in Pennsylvania American Water\u2019s Valley District are impacted by the advisory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Residents in the affected area are told to bring all water to a rolling boil for one minute and let it cool before use, or use bottled water.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Improperly treated water may contain disease-causing organisms like bacteria, viruses and parasites, officials say. Symptoms may include nausea, cramps, diarrhea and headaches.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with compromised immune systems may be at increased risk of infection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">In the meantime, the booster station is running on a backup generator until power is restored, officials say. Pennsylvania American Water is collecting water samples and will announce when the boil water advisory is lifted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amwater.com\/paaw\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.amwater.com\/paaw\/\">Click here<\/a> for more information or call Pennsylvania American Water\u2019s customer service center at 800-565-7292.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Download the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpxi.com\/mobile-apps\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FREE WPXI News app<\/a> for breaking news alerts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Follow Channel 11 News on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wpxi\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WPXI\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>. | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpxi.com\/video\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Watch WPXI NOW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>TOP STORIES FROM CHANNEL 11 NEWS <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph body-copyright\">\u00a92026 Cox Media Group<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CLAIRTON, Pa. \u2014 Parts of the City of Clairton are under a boil water advisory, according to a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":107886,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[4738,51848,51849,4741,51850,51851,51852,9194,9200,12773,5414,29897,51853,37609,17429,1515,29092,1057,15264,51854,51855,13456,32122,13381,14466,23200,32650,7341,5422,51856,28,30,29,51857,15267,44488,23775,18633,51858,37648,13471,51859,51860,5430,5431,15163,2482,2867],"class_list":["post-213337","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pennsylvania","tag-background","tag-boil","tag-boiling","tag-concept","tag-cook","tag-cooked","tag-cooker","tag-cooking","tag-cuisine","tag-culinary","tag-delicious","tag-dinner","tag-domestic","tag-eat","tag-electric","tag-food","tag-fresh","tag-health","tag-healthy","tag-hot","tag-ingredient","tag-kitchen","tag-long","tag-lunch","tag-meal","tag-metal","tag-noodle","tag-nutrition","tag-orange","tag-pan","tag-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania-headlines","tag-pennsylvania-news","tag-pot","tag-preparation","tag-prepare","tag-process","tag-recipe","tag-saucepan","tag-sort","tag-steel","tag-stove","tag-taste","tag-tasty","tag-tradition","tag-traditional","tag-type","tag-water"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213337","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=213337"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213337\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/107886"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=213337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=213337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=213337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
