Citizens Energy Group announced the boil-water advisory the morning of 2026-10-11 after a water main break reduced pressure below 20 PSI in parts of northwest Indianapolis, and said the advisory was lifted the morning of 2026-10-13 after tests showed drinking water met safe-drinking standards, Current Publishing reported.

Current Publishing’s coverage included two location descriptions from the advisory: one focused near 86th Street and Lafayette Road (including Eagles Nest, Walden Trace and Fishback Creek Public Academy) and another larger zone bounded roughly by I-865 to the north, 86th Street to the south, Cooper Road/CR 850 East to the east and I-65 to the west.

WHY IT MATTERS

A boil-water advisory tells residents to treat tap water as unsafe to drink or to use for food preparation until authorities confirm it meets drinking-water standards. Citizens Energy Group said it issued the advisory on 2026-10-11 after a water main break dropped pressure below 20 PSI; low pressure can allow outside contaminants to enter water pipes, the advisory explained. During the advisory, Citizens advised residents to boil water for three minutes before using it for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes or preparing food, and said that water could still be used for showering, cleaning and flushing without boiling. The advisory was lifted on 2026-10-13 after water-quality tests confirmed compliance with applicable standards, and Citizens said service was restored though repairs continued.
