PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Some residents of Wilmington, Del., are being advised to boil water before consuming it, after a water main break near Delaware's Bellevue State Park.
Water utility company Suez North America says the break affected distribution to communities including Bellefonte, Edgemoore and the Bellevue area of Philadelphia Pike.
Workers from the company have been repairing the break.

The company said in a statement that it will inform residents when the advisory is lifted.
