It is once again safe to drink the water in Exeter, city leaders say.
A boil water advisory was lifted Sunday.
Families had been told to boil their water Thursday for drinking water and cooking purposes, after a water main on Kaweah had broken.
Crews had tried to repair the leak, but were unable to and the water pressure lowered.
Water was shut off from Friday night to Saturday morning to repair a major leak.

Water is important because it is essential to life on earth the most important and basic necessity for human life without water life can’t exist.
Humans can only live three days without water, though it is possible to live weeks without food.
With intent trapped this writer to commit whether the drinking water that is being made available for drinking purpose to its citizens or those who visit the state is safe for drinking as per norms under law.
But it did happen as he posed the counter query then why the potable water that is made available to the general masses by the authorities is not being used themselves for drinking .Is not act of discrimination he asked on the part of authorities being conducted in full view of the public in Government functions or for daily need authorities right from Governor down to who matters use bottled water.
This called for the attention to ponder whether drinking water which is known being used for drinking purpose from any source is subjected to analysis for free from any micro-organisms and parasites and from any substances which, in numbers or concentrations, constitute a potential danger to human health.
State cannot afford as a welfare State to have lackadaisical approach not to make sure drinking potable water is safe as per norms and water sources free from any contamination.
With the establishment of J&k State Pollution Control Board in the State, strengthened the belief of the public that hereafter the Potable Water being made available to the people is as per laid down norms.
Whose quality is subject to requires tests as per laid down norms before it is allowed to be supplied for the public uses.
Readers are apprised with the fact that State Pollution Control Board was established in the State in 1987 to ensure Prevention and Control of Water Pollution and the maintain or restoring of wholesomeness of water of rivers and streams, for maintain or restoring wholesomeness of such water courses and controlling the existing and new discharges of domestic and industrial waste.
Public Health Engineering Department do bleaching or chlorination at source take once in a while water sample from the source to be subject test, but it is its statutory duty to ensure standard of water being supplied is maintained up to the tap.

The source of the contaminants comes from the chemicals used for firefighting, commonly known as PFOS and PFOA.
The NAS Command has referred all inquiries to the Department of Defense, but after our reports, it has now issued a statement to ensure that the base community is safe and the contaminated wells are not connected to the drinking water supply.
Naval Air Station Jacksonville Statement: You may have seen recent media reports regarding testing for perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in groundwater at DoD installations.
With that in mind, here are the facts about the drinking water aboard NAS Jacksonville: The drinking water at NAS Jacksonville comes from the Floridian Aquifer – a limestone formation deep underground.
PFCs such as perfluorooctanesulfonate acid (PFOS) and perflouroctanoic acid (PFOA) are on the list of contaminants to sample and test.
PFOS and PFOA are part of a class of man-made chemicals used in many industrial and consumer products.
Drinking water at NAS Jacksonville is routinely tested in compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act.
All results for the NAS Jacksonville drinking water system were non-detect for these PFCs at detection limits of 0.02 ug/l and 0.04 ug/l respectively.
The information published in the DoD report that the Military Times article references that PFC compounds that were found or detected in shallow groundwater monitoring wells at NAS Jacksonville.
Again, the safety of our service members, employees, families and community is our top priority, and we are committed to ensuring safe drinking water.

FEARS have been raised about the possibility of raw sewage contaminating the River Faughan following flooding from a sewer on farmland in the Ardmore area of Derry.
“It affects my work, I have the fields to keep to a standard by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) and the cattle will have to be removed from the field which will leave me having to source food from somewhere else.
“I’ve been left in limbo and have to figure something out,” he added.
“We need to be very mindful that it is in very, very close proximity to the River Faughan where we have anglers fishing and I would have a worry about that.
“And remedial work that has been done wasn’t done correctly as there are porous pipes that sewage shouldn’t be allowed to run through.” Alderman Devenney said concerns were raised about raw sewage running into the Faughan and answers need to be provided as to how the sewage flood occurred and what has to be done to prevent a recurrence.
In response a spokesperson from the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs(DAERA) said: “A report of water pollution was passed to NIEA Water Quality Inspectors by Derry & Strabane District Council on 19th June 2018.
“The investigation found that a sewer was discharging via a manhole into a field but there was no discharge of polluting material to the Faughan River or any other waterway.” NI Water confirmed that it has been liaising with ‘a customer in relation to out of sewer flooding in a field on farmland in Ardmore’.
The spokesperson commented: “This flooding was a direct result of two severe blockages in the sewer line, caused by inappropriate items being flushed down the sewer and fat, oil and grease being disposed of down the sink.
“This is an extreme example of how the disposal of these items, primarily sanitary items and baby wipes, can impact on others.
“We have carried out a clean-up of the area, but this is having a limited impact due to the sheer size of the area affected and how wet the land currently is.

Folks in the Nocatee and Bartram Springs area can go back to drinking water straight from the tap.
A boil water advisory issued by JEA after a water-main break on Sunday was lifted late Tuesday.
The advisory was in effect for two days, which is required for tests to show the water is once again safe for drinking, food preparation and cooking.

A new report by Twaweza has shown that more Ugandans lack access to clean and safe water.
Releasing key findings of the research carried out between January and February this year titled “Ugandans experiences and opinions on affordable access to clean and safe water”, the lead researcher Marie Nanyanzi said 40% of the poor and rural people still find it hard to access safe water compared to the urban rich.
She attributes the situation mainly to the shortage of water points and the long distance to the available ones.
Nanyanzi meanwhile says 74% of the households in the country were found to be getting drinking water from an improved source with access to piped water standing at only 15% in rural areas and 46% in urban areas.
She adds that the trend of people using rain water as their main source of drinking water has tremendously gone down.
These study findings however contradict the latest Uganda Bureau of statistics which indicated that access to water is improving in the country especially in rural areas.

The NRDC and NEW Caucus allege that city officials have failed to implement adequate water quality and treatment systems to prevent lead from getting into drinking water and that the city is failing to comply with federal requirements for monitoring and testing.
The city’s own data, the NRDC says, shows that 10 percent of water samples had elevated lead levels of 26 parts per billion, well above the Safe Drinking Water Act’s “federal action level” of 15 ppb.
The NRDC also says that Newark’s water testing procedures aren’t prioritizing high-risk sites, which it is required to do under federal law, NJ.com said.
“However, for many working-class people, it’s not.
By joining this lawsuit, we hope to hold the city and state governments accountable for providing safe drinking water to every home and school in Newark,” But city officials contend the problem is overblown.
“It is our goal to be transparent and keep our residents informed every step of the way.” The NRDC says in its lawsuit, however, that “the City does not know the scope of the problem because it has failed to identify which service lines contain lead, and has failed to properly monitor lead levels at Newark residents’ taps.” In April, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka told the Associated Press that the elevated lead fears were a “naked political stunt” to help a council member’s mayoral campaign.
There is no safe level of lead contamination.
In spring 2016, water fountains in 30 Newark public schools were found to have high levels of lead, and state officials shut off those fountains until the pipes could be replaced and filters installed.
The group is hoping for similar results in the Newark case.
In a statement, NRDC attorney Claire Woods said, “City and state officials are failing to take the steps required under the law to protect Newark residents from lead in their drinking water.

Yet, since that language was adopted in 1971, state lawmakers have been steadily backsliding on that promise in the most critical of areas: public access to clean and safe drinking water.
The numbers are shocking: Between 2008 and 2012, state funding for the DEP was nearly halved, dropping from $229 million to $125 million.
During that drop, the DEP lost 750 inspectors, who are carrying an average inspection workload of 149 water systems each.
The same budget cuts that hit the inspection side also impacted enforcement.
In fiscal year 2017, state inspectors visited about 19 percent of the state’s water systems, well below the national average of 37 percent, McKelvey wrote.
Tom Wolf signed into law last week includes a $5.6 million funding increase for the fiscal year that starts July 1.
Those trainee hires, who would replace the aging, veteran inspectors who are moving toward retirement age, would eventually bring the DEP down to a more manageable workload of 100 to 125 water systems for each inspector.
The DEP needs at least 85 more inspectors to reach its ideal complement of 67 water systems per-inspector.
At an average cost of $40,000 per inspector, lawmakers would need cough up an extra $3.4 million a year.
It’s time for Harrisburg to live up to that trust.

The federal suit, filed Monday on behalf of more than 90 former prisoners in the Genesee County Jail in Flint, alleges prisoners were forced to continue drinking tap water even after officials knew about the lead contamination.
The suit also alleges bottled water was withheld from inmates even when brought to the jail by concerned family members and other donors, that when bottled water was made available it was rationed in insufficient quantities, and that the jail instead charged prisoners a premium to buy bottled water from the commissary.
Because they were jailed, “plaintiffs could not travel to an area and/or municipality which had uncontaminated water,” couldn’t install filters on their jail water taps or drink bottled water, and “were completely at the mercy” of the county sheriff and jail officials, the suit alleges.
Named as defendants in the lawsuit are Genesee County, Sheriff Robert Pickell, and Capt.
However, "just because it’s being alleged, doesn’t make it true," he said.
Flint’s drinking water became contaminated with lead in April 2014, after a state-appointed emergency manager, in a cost-saving move, ordered a switch from Lake Huron water supplied by the city of Detroit to Flint River water treated at the city’s water treatment plant.
After months of denial from state officials, Gov.
"With full knowledge that the water in the Genesee County Jail was contaminated, defendants … forced plaintiffs to continue drinking the contaminated water."
When the state delivered bottled water to the jail, officials failed to deliver it to inmates in a timely manner and then rationed it to prisoners at two half-liter bottles per day, according to the lawsuit.
The suit, assigned to U.S. District Judge Paul Borman, was filed by Southfield attorney Solomon Radner, along with attorneys from New York and Philadelphia.

In Swanzey, there is no town-owned water system, but instead a patchwork of small public water systems, a privately-owned supplier, a water and fire precinct and private residential wells.
“We’re really very fortunate that the people who were in charge of Keene’s water at that time really understood the importance of owning land around your water supply before it was well documented,” she said.
Balancing act While Keene awaits its watershed management plan, Swanzey officials are pondering their next steps after receiving the town’s source water protection plan recently.
The transmissivity — or rate at which groundwater moves horizontally through these aquifers — ranges from zero to slightly more than 4,000 feet per day, according to the plan.
Paul Susca, supervisor of the planning unit in the state’s drinking water and ground water bureau, said ordinances and zoning restrictions are ways to keep drinking water sources protected.
While contamination is a concern for public and private water systems, it’s much more of a worry with private wells because homeowners don’t often think to test them, Susca said.
Being proactive While the state has a program to regulate the more-hazardous land uses and activities near drinking water sources such as underground storage tanks and solid waste landfills, there are options available to cities and towns, with local land-use regulations and other programs, Susca said.
In Hinsdale, town officials just try to stay on top of things, water and sewer Superintendent Dennis J. Nadeau said.
Granite State Rural Water Association did a source water protection plan for the town in 2015.
One of the report’s conclusions states that while the community has two public drinking water systems that are atop high quality and productive aquifers, the systems face challenges from historic and potential land uses.
