RE: BOIL WATER NOTICE LIFT #5754
WEST FORK WATERWORKS - PWS ID # 577

The Department of Health has released the 'Boil Water' Notice confirmed on 7/24/2025 by WEST FORK WATERWORKS for the Entire System. This order was issued as a precautionary measure because of the possibility that contaminated water may have entered the distribution system as a result of a complete loss in normal system pressure and a maintenance repair by Fayetteville Waterworks.

Bacteriological samples taken on Thursday, July 24, 2025 were found to be free of bacterial contamination and a satisfactory disinfectant level has been established throughout the distribution system. The water is therefore considered 'Safe' for human consumption and the 'Boil Water' notice is hereby lifted.

Sincerely,

Official Boil Order Notice
