Mar. 18—NANTICOKE — Pennsylvania American Water on Tuesday issued a boil water advisory for customers in part of Nanticoke due to a main break that affected a storage tank.

Approximately 75 customers are impacted.

Pennsylvania American Water experienced a loss in positive water pressure on Tuesday, March 18, due to a main break. A loss of positive water pressure is a signal of the existence of conditions that could allow contamination to enter the distribution system through back-flow by back-pressure or back-siphonage. As a result, there is an increased chance that the water might contain disease-causing organisms.

This notice applies to customers along the following streets:

—Vista Drive.

—Overlook Road.

—Industrial Park Road.

For a map of the affected area, visit http://alertsdetail.awapps.com/alert/78178.

The water company stated not to drink the water without boiling it first.

Bring all water to a rolling boil, let it boil for one minute, and cool before using — or use bottled water.

Affected customers should use boil or bottled water for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth and food preparation until further notice.

Inadequately treated water may contain disease-causing organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses and parasites, which can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea and associated headaches.

These symptoms are not caused only by organisms in drinking water, but also by other factors. If you experience any of these symptoms and they persist, you may wish to consult with your health care provider. People with severely compromised immune systems, infants and some elderly may be at increased risk. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.

General guidelines on ways to lessen the risk of infection by microbes are available from EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.

Repairs were expected to be completed Tuesday evening.

Pennsylvania American Water will collect and analyze additional water quality samples including bacteria samples.

There isn’t much change in terms of the Wyoming Valley Conference.

Tunkhannock will enter as the preseason favorite to capture the Division 1 title. Also in the division will be Pittston Area, Hazleton Area, Wilkes-Barre Area, Wyoming Valley West, Crestwood and Dallas.

Division 2 will come down to the two regular-season battles between Lake-Lehman and Holy Redeemer. Unless a divisional playoff is needed, it will be the only two meetings between the two rivals in 2025 as they are now in different classifications.

Also in Division 2 is Berwick, Wyoming Area, Greater Nanticoke Area, Hanover Area, Wyoming Seminary and MMI Prep. MMI returns back to the division after not fielding a team for the last few seasons.

There are some changes in the district for 2025.

Holy Cross, normally a Class 2A contender, is now down in Class 1A. Holy Redeemer, a Class 3A contender, drops down to Class 2A. Redeemer and Dunmore added to 2A, in addition to Elk Lake, should make for an interesting class.

Class 4A seems to be the toughest. While North Pocono moved up to Class 5A, Wallenpaupack is now in 4A. Put the Buckhorns with Tunkhannock, Valley View and what could be an improved Dallas team, and it looks to be the deepest division.

The other change is that West Scranton, a normal contender in Class 5A, moved into the Class 6A subregional.

Here is a look at the classes:

Class 1A: Forest City, Holy Cross, MMI Prep, Old Forge, Susquehanna.

Class 2A: Blue Ridge, Dunmore, Elk Lake, Holy Redeemer, Lackawanna Trail, Montrose, Mountain View, Wyoming Seminary.

Class 3A: Carbondale Area, Lake-Lehman, Lakeland, Mid Valley, Riverside, Western Wayne.

Class 4A: Berwick, Dallas, Hanover Area, Honesdale, Nanticoke Area, Scranton Prep, Tunkhannock, Valley View, Wallenpaupack, Wyoming Area

Class 5A: Abington Heights, Crestwood, Delaware Valley, North Pocono, Pittston Area.

Class 6A: Hazleton Area, Scranton High, West Scranton, Wilkes-Barre Area, Williamsport, Wyoming…
