Residents in parts of Chatham, Virginia, should boil their tap water before drinking or cooking with it after a water main break led the town to issue a boil water advisory on Sept. 28.

Four Pittsylvania County schools are affected, and the school district said the schools would be supplied with drinking water during the advisory.

The break occurred just west of Chatham High School, WDBJ reported.
