Water service to about 65 Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County customers in Rostraver will remain off until late Friday afternoon.
Authority work crews are repairing a water main break near the Route 51 intersection of interstate 70 that led to the boil-water advisory Thursday night.
Officials said the break caused water pressure to drop and created a circumstance that could lead to contamination of the water.
“The break was isolated and the water line itself was not in an area of risk. There is no indication of any contamination,” said authority assistant manager Jack Ashton.
State environmental regulations required the authority to issue the boil-water advisory, which will remain in place after water service is restored until at least Sunday, according to authority manager Michael Kukura.
