Boil water advisory issued at Tinker Air Force Base neighborhood after water main break
Tinker Air Force Base has asked residents living on base to boil water for the next 48 hours because of a water main break, according to a post on social media.
The water main break was in the base's Mitchell Heights Neighborhood.
As a precautionary measure, all housing neighborhoods on base are being asked to boil water for one minute before consuming it, even if it comes out of a refrigerator's water dispenser. There are 660 houses on base.
Base personnel will be testing the water today to confirm its safety.
The boil order does not impact other parts of the base or off-base neighborhoods in the surrounding area.
