How will residents know if a boil advisory is in effect?

There may come a time when we find it necessary to issue a boil advisory for portions of our City. If the area is reasonably small, notification is given to customers by house to house door tags. If the area affected is large and it is not possible to deliver door tags, the City of Monroe will advise all news media, including local radio stations, TV stations, and newspapers, including the list below:

Newspapers

  • The Middletown Journal

Radio

  • WLW Radio - 700 AM
  • WKFS Radio - 107.1 FM
  • WPFB Radio - 910 AM

Television

  • WLWT - TV Channel 5
  • WKRC - TV Channel 12
  • WCPO - TV Channel 9
