ALPINE, Wyo (KIFI) — A boil water advisory is now in effect for parts of Alpine following a water main break near Trail Drive and Stoor Drive.

According to the Town of Alpine, the advisory only applies to properties within an affected area. Residents who did not receive a door notice are not impacted.

Due to the Memorial Day holiday weekend, required bacteriological testing and confirmation sampling will take longer than normal to complete.

At this time, the town expects the advisory to remain in effect until approximately Thursday, May 28, pending water quality test results and approval from regulatory agencies.

Residents in the affected area are advised to boil water for at least three minutes before drinking, brushing teeth, making ice, cooking or washing dishes.

Bottled water is available at the Town Shop located at 289 Buffalo Drive in Alpine.
