Update: The following advisory has been lifted.

A boil advisory was issued for northern St. Joseph last night due to a water main break in the city’s pipeline.

The advisory will continue through tomorrow morning. The advisory was issued for northern St. Joseph into Andrew County; from north of Gene Field Road and east of Miller Road.

A Missouri American Water spokesperson says there is a difference between a boil advisory and a boil order. She says a boil order is issued by government and an advisory is a precaution issued by the utility, because there has been a reduction in water pressure.
