A boil water advisory that had been in effect since shortly after New Year’s Day for the 620 customers of Village Green Mobile Home Park, 825 S. O’Brien St., Seymour, has been lifted.
The advisory was put into effect after the wells that supply water to the mobile home park ran dry, said Pat Fosbrink, the office manager of Natural Public Supply.
That utility supplies water to the park.

A boil water advisory was issued late Wednesday (Jan. 17) for St. John the Baptist Parish due to a lack of pressure in the water system, according to parish officials.
The advisory, which remains in effect until further notice, covers the entire parish.
Parish officials said the system had "little to no pressure" late Wednesday, citing a combination of more than 100 isolated leaks, dripping faucets and excessive water use in taxing the parish’s water system, which can no longer keep up with demand.
The water system is expected to "catch up" overnight, but officials urged residents to continue to conserve water as much as possible, according to a statement posted to the parish government’s website and Facebook page.
Once water pressure is restored, residents should boil water for one minute before consuming the water or using it for cooking.
The advisory does not affect showering or bathing.
Officials reminded residents to protect exposed pipes, and to only let faucets drip as a last resort for preventing frozen pipes.
Earlier Wednesday night, parish officials urged residents to immediately stop all water usage amid concerns of a "total loss in water pressure."
St. John is one of several parishes struggling to contend with high water demand as icy temperatures drive up usage.
In Jefferson Parish, officials have asked residents to conserve water as the parish drops the system’s pressure.

The Sewerage & Water Board issued a precautionary boil water advisory for New Orleans East, excluding the Lower 9th Ward, due to a drop in water pressure.

The Trenton Water Works boil water advisory has been lifted for all of Ewing and Hamilton but remains in effect for parts of downtown Trenton.
The advisory now applies only to customers in Trenton from the Delaware River to Prospect Street and Bellevue Avenue to Pennington Avenue to Perry Street to S. Clinton Avenue to Liberty Street to Duck Island.
Operations ceased because of elevated turbidities and inadequate disinfection of delivered water.
Turbidity refers to the cloudiness or haziness of the water.
“Some Trenton Water Works customers have experienced issues.
We will provide more information as it becomes available.” All water in the affected areas—including for bathing, showering, drinking and cooking—should be boiled before use.
Trenton Water Works customers asked to conserve water A water conservation advisory is in effect for all Trenton Water Works customers.
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection is requiring the system wide water conservation to help conserve available water supplies, according to DEP spokesman Rob Geist.
Residents should limit all water use by restricting use of dishwashers and washing machines, limiting showers and their duration and limiting flushing toilets.
The advisory will remain in effect until costumers are notified by officials in their municipality.

The borough issued the alert late last week after a water main break and flooding.
Authority Manager Carol Paul reported that water samples collected Sunday and Monday came back showing no evidence of bacterial contamination.
However, the Department of Environmental Protection would like samples collected for two more days before they will allow a lifting of the boil water advisory.
Paul, who says samples would be collected Tuesday and Wednesday, says that they expect those samples to come back good as well.
It is anticipated that the boil water advisory could be lifted Thursday.
The alert says that crews noticed cloudiness, or turbidity, in the water.
The Water Authority says that those most at risk for sickness include those with severely compromised immune systems, infants, and some elderly.
The Water Authority says that they have been testing the water for the presence of coliform bacteria and adjusting the chlorine levels to compensate for filtration problems.
All customers of the Greenville Water Authority are being asked to boil their water before consumption until the advisory is lifted.
Water that will be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, or food preparation should be brought to a boil and allowed to boil for one minute.

A boil-water advisory was issued by the town as a precaution.
The advisory could be cancelled as early as Wednesday, officials said, pending the results of a second round of tests.
“We’re not saying there was contamination, but it’s a good idea to boil,” utilities foreman Adam Genis said Monday afternoon.
Officials at the Westville campus of Purdue University Northwest cancelled classes Tuesday because of the advisory.
No classes were scheduled Monday because of the Martin Luther King Day holiday, and classes were expected to resume at noon Wednesday, according to a statement from the university.
“Due to an unforeseen valve malfunction at the water plant, you may be experiencing low water pressure, and until further notice we are under a boil advisory,” a recording from Town Hall says.
“We apologize for any inconvenience.” High-service pumps used to restore water levels depleted by normal consumption were never turned on because the control unit “had no idea what the levels were,” Genis said.
Genis said an initial round of testing Monday showed the presence of chlorine at each of the sample sites, indicating any bacteria would have been killed, but a second round of tests is scheduled for Tuesday, with results expected by 10 a.m. Wednesday.
Engineers were expected to take a closer look at the system this week and make recommendations to the town board about permanent repairs.

Residents affected by the water main break in Carroll Monday morning have been placed under a boil advisory.
At the direction of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the city issued the advisory for customers on the west side of Main Street between and including the Knights of Columbus building south to West 5th Street.
The advisory is only in effect for the customers whose water was off today as a direct result of the water main break.
The DNR recommends all water used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth or preparing food be brought to a boil for a least one minute before use.
City Manager, Mike Pogge-Weaver, says city staff will be in direct contact with customers impacted by the order.
Repairs are now complete to the water main, and city officials believe water service will be operational in the next few hours once flush procedures are conducted.
A series of precautionary bacteria tests will be made to ensure water is safe for consumption before the advisory is lifted.
Any questions can be directed to the City of Carroll Water Department by calling 792-1000.
