KALAMA, Wash. (AP) - Kalama, Wash., officials say safe water service has been restored to city customers and a boil water order has been lifted.
Schools were closed Tuesday and the boil order had been in effect earlier in the day while health officials checked to make sure the water was safe to drink.
A ruptured water main drained the city's primary reservoir early Monday.
Kalama Public Works Director Carl McCrary says repairs have been completed, there is once again water in the reservoir and water quality sampling shows the water is safe.
