Original 9/26 press release below:

 

City of Duluth boil water notice for affected residents in Congdon Park neighborhood

[DULUTH, MN] On Wednesday (9/24/25) during a hydrant replacement on London Road, a portion of the water distribution piping was drained unintentionally impacting some residents in the Congdon Park Neighborhood.  Precautionary testing taken from hydrants upon re-activation of the system has indicated a concern where further flushing maintenance and testing will be performed.  Residents are asked to boil drinking water until further notice.

The affected area is from the 3300 to 3800 blocks of Greysolon Road, Greysolon Place, East Superior Street, and  36th Avenue East from London Road to Superior Street.

The City of Duluth is performing necessary tests to confirm the safety of the water for drinking in that area. Test results are expected over the weekend. The City of Duluth will distribute further information regarding the results at that time. Drinking water should be boiled before consuming in the defined geographical area.

Bring all drinking/cooking water to a full, rolling boil, let it boil for one minute or longer, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, and food preparation until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in water.

A safe alternative source includes bottled water. Tap water in the affected area can be used for all non-consumption reasons (i.e. showering/bathing, laundry, etc.).

More drinking water guidance is available on the Minnesota Department of Health’s Community Drinking Water Advisory Guidance (PDF):

You can also call the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1(800) 426-4791 for general guidelines regarding water quality safety.
