Brianna Wooten, spokeswoman for Montgomery County, asked that only people who need water go to the distribution locations.

Kettering, Washington Twp., Miami Twp., Centerville and Moraine are not under a boil advisory that’s affecting parts of the county, Wooten said.

It is hoped the entire boil advisory will be lifted on Saturday, but it remains in effect until further notice for about 75,000 people.

In accordance with Ohio EPA standards, the county will have to conduct two rounds of testing on the water to lift the advisory.

So far, no one has reported any health issues due to water to Public Health Dayton and Montgomery County

While the boil advisory is a precautionary measure, residents in the boil advisory area are urged to follow it.

Bring water to rolling boil for at least a minute and let it cool before drinking it or using for oral hygiene or cooking.
