Water boil advisory issued again for Artesia residents.
ARTESIA, N.M. (KRQE) – A water boil notice is once again in effect for Artesia residents.
The notice comes two months after E.Coli was found in the city water supply.
Now E.Coli has been found again in the water.
Officials say this can happen when a pipe breaks or excess rainwater gets into the water supply.
They’re advising people boil water for one minute before drinking it.
Officials expect it to be fixed within a week but schools in the area will be closed Monday and Tuesday due to the contamination.
All extra-curricular activities, practices and competitions will continue as scheduled.
