LIMA – The Boil Water Order has been lifted for the Village and Town of Lima Public Water Systems.
According to a press release from the Livingston County Department of Health, Village and some Town residents are no longer advised to boil their water before use.
The Department of Health and the Village of Lima have reviewed the laboratory analysis results of water quality samples collected recently and have determined that the water provided by the Village and Town of Lima Public Water Systems is safe for human consumption.
The Village of Lima public water supply and the Town of Lima north of Rexon Street was determined unsafe for use without boiling after a water main break caused low water pressure on July 21, the Department of Health said that at about 6:30 a.m. on July 21, 2017 the Village of Lima water system lost pressure due to a leak in a water line, causing pressure loss in the water main and that when water mains lose pressure it increases the chance that untreated water and harmful microbes can enter the water.
