Dowelltown and Liberty water customers no longer have to boil their drinking water.
Officials say the water boil notice has been lifted. Test results show that the water is safe to consume.
A break was discovered in an eight inch water line on Highway 70 just east of the water tank around 12:30 a.m. Saturday. The repair was completed around 9:00 a.m.
However officials say due to the water line leak, there was reason to suspect that the water distributed to the customers of the Dowelltown-Liberty Water System might have been contaminated.
Water customers were advised to boil water prior to using it for drinking or food preparation until the boil notice was lifted.
