The City of Akron has lifted the boil advisory it issued on Friday following a water main break.
Water testing was completed over the weekend, and the water was confirmed safe on Sunday morning.
The water main break happened Friday morning near Cormany Road and Robinson Avenue, impacting 325 homes in the Portage Lakes area.
All repairs were completed by noon on Saturday, and restoration of normal water service and water quality testing followed. The city said the tests require 18 hours to complete.
The city said there was no indication of contamination during the event; however, residents may experience discoloration or cloudiness in the water for the next day or two.
The discoloration or cloudiness is not a concern for water safety, as it is caused by dissolved air and will clear on its own, the city said. To get rid of it, residents can open all cold-water faucets and bath/shower fixtures in their home at the same time and flush for 5 minutes until clear.
