The city, in consultation with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, has determined that water customers East of 12th Street in Petersburg, which includes HWY 57 and SR 356, should boil their drinking water.
The City of Petersburg says the precautionary measure is recommended because they are experiencing a drinking water problem within that service area.
