The city of North Vernon is warning its water customers to boil their water before consuming it through at least Monday.

The water utility reports that a broken water main on State Road 3 has interrupted water service to the northern portion of the town. The leak was expected to be repaired early this afternoon but until the utility can get back an all-clear on the water quality, you are asked to boil any water for five minutes before drinking it or using it in food preparation.

The city is also warning that if the water appears discolored, you should wait to do laundry.

If you have any questions or need more information  you can call North Vernon Utilities at 812-346-2037 or the Jennings County Health Department at 812-352-3024.
