The Columbus Department of Public Utilities has issued a boil advisory for those who live on and around Ohio State's campus.

According to the Department of Public Utilities, a water main break happened at Olentangy River Road between Lane Avenue and Ackerman Road Sunday morning.

Officials said customers should boil water for 1 minute as a precautionary measure or just use bottled water until further notice.

The area affected by the advisory includes those within the boundaries of Kenny Road to the west, Ackerman Road to the north, Woody Hayes Drive to the south and Neil Avenue to the east.

Ben Johnson, Ohio State spokesman, said Columbus Department of Public Utilities told university officials that water in the campus area is not affected and is safe to use.

For operational reasons, however, the university will flush campus sinks, showers and toilets.

The Columbus Department of Publics Utilities said it will update when the advisory is canceled.
