A boil order has been issued for residents in a Penobscot County town.

Crews in Howland discovered a leak in the water system while flushing hydrants on Monday.

On Facebook, the town said some residents may not have water or may be experiencing low water pressure. They urged residents who still have water to boil it for five minutes before drinking.

The town said Tuesday the issue was due to pipe corrosion, but the boil order remains in effect until further notice.

The town also says bottled water is available at the fire station.
