Iowa American has lifted the precautionary boil advisory in its Clinton district.
Water-quality tests have confirmed that the water continues to meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Safe Drinking Water Act and Iowa Department of Natural Resources regulations, so customers do not need to boil water before drinking or cooking.
The advisory was the result of a 16-inch water main break that happened Monday in the 1400 block of 13th Avenue South in Clinton that had an impact on the entire community.
Clinton customers were notified of the advisory lift via the company’s automated CodeRED customer notification system.

A precautionary boil filtered water advisory has been issued for two buildings in downtown Flint.
This after a water main break happened in the area of Second Street between Saginaw and Harrison Streets.
Flint utility customers that are impacted include the Ferris Wheel Building and the Dryden Building on Saginaw Street.
The city will provide an update when customers in the affected are no longer advised to boil their filtered water prior to use.

FLINT, Mich. – A ‘boil filtered water’ advisory is in effect for two buildings in downtown Flint.
According to the Flint public works department, a water main break on Second Street between Saginaw and Harrison Streets is affecting service to the Ferris Wheel Building and the Dryden Building.
Both of those buildings are on Saginaw Street.
Public Works director Rob Bincsik says the ‘boil filtered water’ advisory is a precautionary measure meant to protect the health and safety of water customers in the area.
Special emphasis was put on the boiling water run through a filter to remove lead.
Customers who do not use a filter to remove lead from their water are advised to let the water run for a minimum of seven minutes before boiling it in order to ‘flush’ the line.
Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and preparing food.
Boiling the water kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.
The city will notify water customers in the affected area when the boil water advisory is lifted.
Anyone with questions can call the city of Flint Water Department at 810-766-7202.
