Daviess Co. towns restarting normal water use

As the boil order is lifted, residents and business owners affected since Monday across Daviess County are starting to re-use water without boiling it.
When the boil water order was issued on Monday, people in Whitesville and other towns in Daviess County had to change their water consumption habits, such as drinking more bottled water.
"It’s a whole lot nicer because you don’t have to worry about boiling the water," says Scott Greer, who co-owns Kelly Rae’s Country Cafe in Whitesville.
"They didn’t like it, but they had to do it," said Joseph Wedding of Whitesville.
He resorted to using bottled water and boiling during the order.
He thinks everyone made it through this ordeal.
"I think everybody made it alright," he said.
Managers at Whitesville Senior Center moved to bottled water for drinks, and boiled water to clean dishes.
"Took it day by day," adds Greer.
