Artesia schools close due to boil water advisory.
David Lynch ARTESIA, N.M. – Public schools in Artesia will be closed Monday and Tuesday due to a boil water advisory issued by the New Mexico Environment Department’s Drinking Water Bureau.
For the second time in two months, Artesia city officials are telling residents to boil their drinking water after E.coli was found in the water supply.
The city was under an order to boil water for a week back in July for the same reason.
The school district is meeting Monday afternoon with the City of Artesia and the Department of Health to discuss whether classes will resume Wednesday.
Residents are being advised to boil their water for one minute if they plan on using it for drinking, brushing teeth, washing dishes, food prep and making ice, a release from the city states.

The release states they expect water to be drinkable again within a week.
In July, it took nine days before a boil water advisory was lifted for the city and its residents.

Boil water advisory lifted for Pembroke Pines.
PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. – A mandatory boil water advisory has been lifted for all residents of Pembroke Pines, city officials said.
Three new well pumps were assumed struck by lightning due to the impact of Hurricane Irma.
City officials said the plant was shut down as a result of low water pressure.
In addition to the well pumps being inoperable, several water main line breaks contributed to the inability to provide sufficient water supply, city officials said.
"The cities of Cooper City, Sunrise and Miramar agreed to open the interconnect to get water back into the system, of which we are very grateful," the city of Pembroke Pines said on its website.
City officials said emergency efforts and new pumps put the wells back online as of 2:30 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 12.
The water plant is now activated and water service has been restored, city officials said.
Residents no longer need to boil water.
