Boil water notice repealed

Walhalla Water Department announces that a boil water notice that applied over the weekend to a large swath of its service territory in the vicinity of Halfway Branch was lifted yesterday, and no longer do customers there need to boil water before drinking or cooking.  According to Scott Parris, utilities director, following intense flushing of the distribution system, bacteriological samples were collected and analyzed.  The results indicate the system is now safe to use for both drinking and cooking purposes.
