Trenton Municipal Utilities has extended the boil advisory issued Friday evening due to a positive coliform sample.
Coliform bacteria are a commonly used indicator of the sanitary quality of foods and water. While coliforms themselves do not normally cause serious illness, they are easy to culture, and their presence is used to indicate that other organisms may be present.
The advisory affects customers on Chicago Street between East 23rd and East 26th Streets in the northern part of town and has been extended until 5:55 am Tuesday morning.
