ONTARIO, Oregon — The boil water order that has been in effect since Sunday has been lifted, reports the City of Ontario.
The city initially posted the notice on Sunday morning, advising residents to "vigorously" boil their water for at least one full minute before drinking or cooking.
City Manager Dan Cummings previously said that pump failures at the Water Treatment Plant Booster Station caused Ontario's water distribution system pressures to fall below 20 psi, which could have resulted in contamination issues.
However, subsequent testing revealed that no bacteriological issues are present and that the water is safe to drink.
