WASHINGTON — Parts of the town of Thurmont in Frederick County, Maryland, have been put under a boil water advisory until further notice.
Officials alerted on the advisory Tuesday night just before 10 p.m.
The boil advisory affects the following areas in Thurmont:
- Eyler Road
- Emmitsburg Road
- North Church Street, north of Boundary Avenue
- Catoctin Heights
- Flanagan Road
- Allen and Stull Drive
- West Main Street from Route 15 to Tippin Drive
