Boil Water Advisory for parts of City of Rochester

Update 12/24: The advisory has been lifted and the tap water is now safe to consume!
Attention WAYO listeners: As of 11:15pm on Wednesday night (12/21), a significant portion of the City of Rochester has been placed under a Boil Water Advisory due to a massive water main break on the west side. This means that the water that comes out of your taps may be unsafe to drink and use to prepare food and wash dishes. If you are in an affected area, you should bring tap water to a full boil for at least one minute (even if it comes out of a water filter, like a refrigerator) OR use bottled water.
