Kaukauna water boil advisory could be lifted Wednesday.
Jeff Feldt, general manager of Kaukauna Utilities, told USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin the first of two crucial water samples shows no contamination in the water supply.
A water main broke at Third and Main streets during construction on Monday.
RELATED:4,000 Kaukauna residents under water boil advisory Tuesday’s sample was taken at noon.
If the Tuesday test also shows no contamination, the advisory could be lifted as soon as Wednesday morning.
"We’ll know tomorrow morning (about the water sample test results), then in consultation with the DNR we could lift the ban," Feldt said.
The utility isolated the break and is working to repair it.
While no homes are without water, the broken water main caused pressure in the water distribution system to drop below recommended levels.
Residents who boil water should make sure the liquid maintains a rolling boil for at least one minute before use, according to the advisory.
