Hanover under a boil water advisory

Hanover residents are being told to boil their water.

The advisory was issued by the town around 6 p.m. on Wednesday due to an adverse water test result at the local water treatment plant. It applies to everyone who uses water provided by Hanover's water supply system.

According to town officials, the boil water advisory is a precautionary measure being taken out of an abundance of caution.

Residents are advised to bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute before drinking it, making infant formula and juice, brushing teeth, washing raw foods, and making ice. Alternatively, residents can stick to bottled water, town officials said.

It is not known how long the boil water advisory will be in place. Residents will be advised via the town's social media platforms and website when the advisory is lifted.
