Ellsworth has issued a boil water order after a Tuesday afternoon pipe break.

That order was issued early Wednesday morning after a water main broke on Bridge Hill.

Residents living on the following streets must boil their water for at least 5 minutes before drinking, making ice, washing or preparing food, or brushing their teeth:

— Grant Street

— Liberty Street

— Chapel Street

— Willow Street

— Youngs Avenue

— Bucksport Road from Court Street to Chapel Street

— Laurel Street

— Upper South Street

— Maple Street

As of 9 a.m. Wednesday, the water main was been repaired, but the boil water order remains in place until further notice.
