Boil Water Advisory In McGregor

City staff in McGregor are recommending people on Main Street from 3rd Street to the Riverfront boil their water before drinking, or use an alternative source, as a construction project in the area has prompted a water shut down. According to a report, McGregor Municipal Utilities staff said Portzen Construction is shutting down the water while it removes some fire hydrants during the construction project. Due to the potential for bacterial contamination, staff are recommending residents and businesses boil water before using it for drinking or cooking.
