From the City of St. Louis:

May 11, 2021

The City Water Division has issued a precautionary boil water advisory for a portion of its service area due to low water pressure caused by a broken water main.

The boundaries of for the area under the precautionary boil water advisory are:

• South of Palm - Natural Bridge
• West of Hwy 70
• North of Chouteau
• East of Jefferson

Although water has been restored, the water pressure in the affected areas has fallen below acceptable City levels, prompting the City Water Division to issue a precautionary boil water advisory out of an abundance of caution.

The boil water advisory is in effect until further notice. The Water Division will analyze water sample before determining when to lift the boil water advisory. Test results will be in 24 hours.
