Whitefish lifts boil water advisory

Whitefish lifted its boil water advisory at 9 a.m. Tuesday after tests showed the city’s water supply was safe to drink.

A break in a water main in Whitefish early Monday morning prompted the city to issue the advisory. As a precautionary measure, a series of bacteriological samples were taken from throughout the system Monday. Lab results indicated that all of the samples were safe, the city noted in a Tuesday press release.

Repairs to the city’s water distribution system were completed late Monday, but Baker Avenue continues to be closed to through traffic north of the Whitefish River bridge as crews repair the roadway.

Baker is expected to open this afternoon.
