(KNZA)--A water main break in the City of Robinson will leave its residents without water service through the weekend; and, because of the break, a boil water advisory has been issued for the city's water customers.

Thursday morning, crews began the process of working on the break but determined that due to the extreme cold temperatures, they would need to wait until warmer weather to be able to properly fix the issue.

The City of Robinson advises its residents that repairs are set to start mid-morning on Monday; and, until that time, residents are advised that downtown streets and side streets will be gathering water which will cause very slick road conditions in those areas. The city stated that crews will do their best to keep up with clearing the streets as much as possible before repairs can be made.

Meanwhile, any water intended to be consumed should be boiled for one minute prior to use, or use bottled water. That comes as the boil water advisory goes into place until further notice.

According to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, it will remain in place "until the conditions that placed the system at risk of bacterial contamination are resolved."

KDHE officials issued the advisory because of a waterline break resulting in a loss of pressure in the distribution system during repairs. Failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.
