STATE COLLEGE, CENTRE COUNTY - The State College Borough Water Authority issued a notice for residents in several neighborhoods to boil their water after a water main lost pressure Tuesday.
Residents at 1700-1820 South Atherton Street; 105-164 Joyce Drive; 110-151 Suzy Circle; 112-129 Vivian Way and 800 West Branch Road will experience a loss of water pressure as a result of the main failure and possible water contamination.
