East Pikeland >> Pikeland Village Square business owners were notified Tuesday that a boil water advisory had been issued after drinking water samples tested positive for E. coli.
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection issued the notice to the businesses at 513 Kimberton Road following the detection of the harmful bacteria in a raw water sample. All commercial businesses are required to provide alternate water to their customers (bagged ice, bottled water, canned or bottled juice or soda) until the advisory is lifted. Among the businesses located in the shopping center were Rocco’s Pizza Shoppes, Re/Max Main Line, Tips and Toes Nail Spa.
Although researchers from the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology say they have found a dangerous toxin in Rapid Creek that could indicate the presence of E.coli bacteria, Rapid City officials have assured residents that the city’s drinking water is safe.
