A Clarion County 911 dispatched confirmed that the advisory remained in effect as of 10:43 a.m.

Under a Boil Water Advisory, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that water be brought to a rolling boil for one minute before it is consumed in order to kill protozoa, bacteria and viruses. At altitudes above 2,000 meters (6,561 feet), boiling should be extended to 3 minutes,[2] as the lower boiling point at high altitudes requires more time to kill such organisms.
