EDGERTON, Mo. --
City officials say citizens in Edgerton, Mo. are under a boil order advisory until further notice.
A water main break near W. Frank St. and N. Clark Ave. caused the order as a precaution. Crews are working to fix the break, but are having difficulty in finding parts, according to city officials.
Some tips were posted to the city's Facebook page Saturday evening.
- Boil water for 3 minutes prior to use. Use only water that has been boiled for drinking, diluting fruit juices, all other food preparation and brushing teeth.
- Dispose of ice cubes and do not use from a household automatic ice maker. Remake ice cubes with water that has been boiled.

The Edgerton fire station has non-potable water for flushing toilets, but you should bring your own containers.
