West Philadelphia under boil water advisory.

The Philadelphia Water Department issued a boil water advisory for parts of West Philadelphia, including ZIP codes 19151, and parts of 19131 and 19139, after a pumping station serving a section of upper West Philadelphia failed, causing a loss of pressure in the system and leaving some customers without water. Customers should not drink the water without boiling it first, and are urged to bring water to a rolling boil for one minute before using it for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and preparing formula.
