July 21, 2026 - Notice: Precautionary Boil Advisory Lifted: The precautionary boil advisory has been officially lifted, and all water is safe for normal use. What Happened During compliance testing, trace amounts of total coliform were detected. Total coliforms are naturally occurring; harmless indicator of bacteria frequently found in the environment and soil. Their presence was not an indicator of sewage contamination or an immediate health threat, and our system's chemical treatment remained completely sound throughout this period. Why It Took Time State regulatory compliance through the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MoDNR) requires absolute zero readings to lift an advisory. Meeting these strict standards demands a specific sequence of entirely clear microscopic lab tests conducted across multiple consecutive days. Current Status We have successfully completed the rigorous MoDNR testing sequence. All consecutive lab results have returned entirely clear with zero readings, proving that the water meets or exceeds all state safety standards. The regulatory requirements have been fully satisfied, and the advisory is officially over. Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we worked through the mandatory state compliance process to ensure the continued safety of our community's water.
