A concrete truck struck power lines in the village, knocking out power to approximately half the village, Evans said. The power outage caused a high-speed pump failure at the village water plant, reducing their water pressure until a new pump could be installed. The boil advisory was issued because the pressure decreased significantly, Evans said. News Center 7 was informed of the boil advisory at 10:30 a.m. this morning.
