Owensboro Municipal Utilities has issued a boil water advisory as a precaution for customers served by the pump station in the Hillcrest area.
The following information was shared by OMU:
Customers served by the pump station in the Hillcrest area may have noticed a decrease in water pressure due to a Kenergy power outage resulting from today’s windstorm.
