North Adams Water Safe to Drink

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Water Department says all water line breaks have been repaired and water restored to those affected areas. 
 
The boil water order has been lifted by the state Department of Environmental Protection. Residents no longer have to boil water or use bottled water for drinking, making ice, food preparation, brushing teeth or washing dishes. 
 
A partial lift of the Dec. 15 order was issued on Tuesday; as of Thursday, the requirement is no longer in effect for any areas of the city. 
 
The water issues began on Friday after a water main broke in an inaccessible area behind the water treatment plant on Pattison Road. The drop in pressure and frigid temperatures led to breaks on American Legion Drive and by State Road and Biltmore Avenue. 
 
It took all weekend to fix the main, and several more to repair the other breaks. During this time, residents experienced no water or low water pressure. 
 
The Water Department says all repairs have been completed and that samples collected throughout the distribution system were free of total coliform and E. coli bacteria.
