LEWISTON, Minn. – A failure in the Lewiston municipal water system led to an advisory to citizens not to use the water. The system serves 600 households. Pressure in the system was lost about 7:20 p.m. when a sensor broke. Water must be boiled, said Erik Fredburg, public works director. Even when the sensor is fixed, the system will need to be flushed for several hours to clear out possible contaminants, he said.
