Water boil advisory lifted for Whitegate Drive

COLUMBIA, MO (July 3, 2010) - Two consecutive days of laboratory tests confirm that the water for customers living on Whitegate Drive, between Towne Drive and Sylvan Lane 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 hang tags on their door that the water is safe to drink.
