PISCATAQUIS COUNTY, Maine — A boil-water order was issued in Piscataquis County on Wednesday morning, officials say.
The Piscataquis County Emergency Management Agency shared the announcement in a Facebook post.
"Due to the possibility of unsafe water, Milo Water District consumers are directed to boil all water for one minute at a rolling boil before drinking, making ice cubes, washing foods, brushing teeth, or in any other activity involving the consumption of water," the post stated.
In an update Thursday afternoon posted by the Town of Milo, the boil order is expected to last "at least a couple more days" due to testing procedures.
The boil-water order has been issued as a precaution following a recent water-main break.
