The Water Division conducted several tests on water samples collected in the affected areas and has verified that the water is not contaminated and is safe to consume.

  • St. Louis Hills

The area is bounded by Jamieson Ave. on the west, Fyler Ave. on the north, Hampton Ave. on the east, and Loughborough Ave. on the south.
