Much of Lewiston is under a boil-water order through Monday afternoon due to a large water main break.
The city released a list of streets affected by the boil order Sunday afternoon and is advising any home on the list should boil water for 24 hours.

Affected homes and businesses are advised to boil all water for one minute at a rolling boil before drinking, making ice cubes, washing food, brushing teeth, or any other activities that involve water consumption.
Photos released by the city of Lewiston show extensive flooding in some areas with thigh-high water levels.
Water is shut off from Webster to Sabattus on Orange and at Diamond Court; there is no water at those locations.
The city says it will take Lewiston Public Works’ Water and Sewer Division up to 12 hours to repair the water line.
