TL;DR Summary

The Philadelphia Water Department has issued a boil water advisory for parts of upper West Philadelphia affecting around 18,000 customers due to a loss of water pressure caused by a failed pumping serving station. The impacted neighborhoods include Wynnefield Heights, Wynnefield, Overbrook Farms, Green Hill Farms, Overbrook, Overbrook Park, Morris Park, and parts of Carrol Park, Haddington, West Parkside, and West Fairmount Park. Residents in these areas should boil their water before drinking it. Water pressure has been restored, but a lack of pressure can cause disease-causing organisms to enter water pipes.
