BARNES CITY BOIL ADVISORY LIFTED

BARNES CITY — The City of Barnes City in Mahaska County lifted a boil advisory for its residents on Thursday.

Test results on water samples show the water is safe to drink.

During construction on a new central sewer system Aug. 26, a water line washed out. This caused the drinking water distribution system to lose pressure, creating the potential for bacterial contamination. The contractor responsible for the washed out line made repairs.
