**Water Advisory Issued for New Hope, Crystal, and Golden Valley After Valve Malfunction**

**NEW HOPE, MN -** Residents of New Hope, Crystal, and Golden Valley are being advised to use bottled or boiled water due to a disruption in water service caused by a malfunctioning valve at the Golden Valley water tower. The incident occurred overnight, with New Hope officials reporting the issue on social media early Sunday morning.

According to New Hope Mayor John Elder, an altitude valve in the Golden Valley water tower inadvertently closed Saturday night. “We are also investigating how this happened so that it won’t happen again!” Elder wrote on Facebook. Crews were able to reopen the valve as of Sunday morning.

As of 9 a.m. Sunday, crews were working to fully restore water pressure to the affected cities. New Hope reported shortly after that the water pressure loss had been fixed and were awaiting approval from the Minnesota Department of Health.

Until further notice, residents are urged to use bottled water or boil tap water for at least one minute before using it for drinking, cooking, or brushing their teeth. This advisory remains in effect until residents are notified that temporary water hookups have been successful and water is safe to use.

City officials will notify residents when the advisory is lifted. At that time, residents are advised to flush their building plumbing systems.

The Star Tribune will continue to update this story as more information becomes available.
