The boil advisory issued on Monday for parts of Lyndhurst, South Euclid, University Heights, Shaker Heights, Highland Hills, Warrensville Heights, North Randall and a portion of the East Side of Cleveland has been lifted.
On Tuesday evening, Cleveland Water received results from the water samples taken earlier in the day, the department said in a news release. Water samples were taken from 12 locations in the advisory area. No pathogens were present in any of the samples.
Van Aken Boulevard remains closed between Southington Road and Onaway Road as crews continue repairs.
Shuttle buses are replacing RTA Blue Line trains between Shaker Square and the Warrensville/Van Aken station until further notice.
“The water is safe to drink and use as normal,” the release said. “For the next few days, customers may experience cloudy water at their tap which clears from the bottom of a glass to the top. The cloudiness is caused by extra air in the distribution system,” and onsite plumbing.
The department recommends performing a five-minute full-house flush of all cold-water faucets, tubs and showers at the same time. A full-house flush while also taking off aerator screens may help clear the cloudiness.
The Cleveland Water Department issued the alert on Monday after discovering a break in a 30-inch water main on Van Aken Boulevard near Ashby Road. The Ohio EPA requires a boil advisory to be issued when a water main break causes signifcant depressurization.
