MHProNews has learned from springfieldnewssun.com in German Township, Ohio the Chateau Estates manufactured housing community (MHC) suffered a water main break Tuesday, and residents have been advised to boil water. While one resident claims he noticed water seeping up near the area of the break several days ago and notified the office, Chateau Estates Administrator Jack Duncan says management did not know of a problem until the main broke. Repair work began Wednesday afternoon and was expected to be completed by day’s end barring any unforeseen problems. Larry Shaffer, Clark County Combined Health District’s director says the MHC is following the correct protocols. “A boil advisory has been issued and they have been working with the Ohio EPA,” he says. In the past, Chateau had to install an experimental system to remove arsenic from the water in conjunction with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). And more recently, the community had to connect to the North Hampton sewer system because its own wastewater treatment plant was insufficient. ##
