Springfield water authorities said residents in the city and nearby town of Ludlow should boil their tap water before using it to drink or eat. That's after a large water main broke on Tuesday in Springfield, spilling some 10 million gallons.
That dropped the water pressure low enough to pose a bacterial contamination risk, according to the Springfield Water and Sewer Commission, which issued the boil order Tuesday night.
Schimmel said the boil order is a precaution after there was a large drop in water presser from the break. He estimates the break released 10 million gallons.Public schools in Springfield have been closed for Wednesday, with after-school activities also canceled.
