Pleasantville is under a boil advisory until further notice.
The breach of a main line was repaired at Monroe and Columbus late Thursday night, but more breaches have occurred according to City Manager Joe Mrstik. Mrstik says no cause has yet been determined, but tells KNIA/KRLS News many of the main line pipes in Pleasantville are 50 to 60 years old. Tests are being conducted to ensure the water is safe and Mrstik says if the tests have good results the advisory should end by Sunday or Monday. The advisory does not affect those on Marion County Rural water. Although city water should be boiled before drinking, it’s still safe for bathing and washing. KNIA/KRLS News will update with any new information as soon as it becomes official.
