The Crescent Water System received a clean bill of health — and a lifting of a boil-water advisory — from the state Department of Health on Monday.
The chlorine disinfection system at the Lyre River water intake has been fixed and all distribution lines appear to have adequate chlorination, state health engineer John Ryding said Monday afternoon.
Two consecutive water quality tests taken Thursday and Sunday showed the water free of the coliform bacteria that caused last week’s warning to Crescent customers to boil water before drinking it or cooking with it.
