UPDATE: BOIL WATER ADVISORY LIFTED SATURDAY 2/14/26
On Wednesday, February 11, 2026, the Borough experienced a leak on the six (6) inch water main on the 100-block of Fausnacht Drive. The leak impacted a total of 33 residential properties, 27 on Fausnacht Drive and six (6) on Jefferson Avenue. The Borough’s Public Works Department shut the water off in the area and repaired the broken six (6) inch water main. When the repair was finished, the Borough flushed the water system to re-establish the disinfectant residuals. The Borough also will sample the finished water to confirm compliance with all potable water regulations.
Properties impacted by the Boil Water Advisory were issued a notice at their front door. Once the required testing of the water is complete, the Borough will notify the property owners when the Boil Water Advisory will be lifted. If you have any questions, please contact the Denver Borough Municipal Building at 717-336-2831. Thank you!
