A boil water advisory has been issued to residents of Saranac.  The advisory is expected to continue until at least Sunday.

If you are in Saranac plan to boil your water or head to the store for some bottled water.

WZZM gives us more details on the advisory:

The advisory affects over 1,300 hundred residents. Coliform bacteria was found in the water system. While Coliform is not harmful it can indicate the presence of more dangerous bacteria.

Residents should boil all water before ingesting it. The Saranac Director of Public Works say they do no know what caused the contamination, but have started chlorinating the system.

Saranac officials say they must have two clear tests before they can lift the boil order.
