Boil advisory lifted for Blackfoot Road area

COLUMBIA, MO (July 11, 2010) - Two consecutive days of laboratory tests confirm that the water for customers living on Blackfoot Road, Cedar Cliff Drive and Kraemer Court is safe to drink. The two samples from the repaired water line that Columbia Water & Light collected required an incubation period of 24 hours each before they could be analyzed. Both sets of samples showed no bacterial contamination. Customers will be notified by hangtags on their door that the water is safe to drink.
