Residents and businesses in St. Peters are under a boil water advisory and water conservation order after a pipeline was damaged today. The event caused a drop in water pressure, prompting the city to ask residents to conserve water until repairs are completed and water tests confirm safety, as per the City of St. Peters website.
The advisory instructs that all water intended for consumption be boiled for at least three minutes before use. Non-consumption uses, such as bathing and laundry, do not require boiling.
The pipeline, jointly owned by St. Charles and St. Peters, was damaged by a private contractor. Emergency crews are working on repairs, and the city advises reducing water use for non-essential activities like irrigation. Updates on the repair progress and advisory status are available at www.stpetersmo.net.
