Because of a water main break, the American Red Cross is making bottled water available to residents of South Milwaukee. If you live in South Milwaukee and need to pick up some water, please visit these distribution sites between the hours of 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.:

• South Milwaukee Police Department, 2424 15th Avenue
• South Milwaukee South Deposit Station, 1106 Blake Street

In the meantime, please don't use tap water because it could be contaminated. Boiling the water won't make it safe.

City water should not be used for making ice, brushing teeth, cooking, doing laundry or bathing infants. Residents can wash their hands with soap, take quick showers and use toilets but must limit their water usage.

The American Red Cross in Southeastern Wisconsin relies on donations of time and money so they can provide relief to victims of disasters and help people prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies in Dodge, Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Walworth and Waukesha counties.
