Скачать или смотреть Onsted, MI residents placed under water boil advisory over Christmas weekend

The small village of Onsted, Michigan in Lenawee County is under a water boil advisory the entire Christmas weekend.

"If it's once a year - it doesn't really affect you," said local business owner Brandon Shepard. "But when it happens multiple times, and you figure the extra cost repeatedly or the breakfast restaurant lost three days worth of sales on a holiday weekend. That's big."

Since Friday, Lenawee County Emergency Management has advised that Onsted residents boil their water before doing anything; whether it's drinking, preparing food, or washing with it.

According a notice sent out by the village, there was a pressure drop in the water system when Onsted Schools performed a fire suppression test without notifying the water department. The water department says the pressure drop necessitated the testing of the water as a precaution, which led to the issuance of the boil water advisory.

The advisory is frustrating to the people who live and work in Onsted.
