Effective immediately, July 30, 2024, Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has lifted its Precautionary Boil Water Advisory for certain sections of the City of Great Falls Water System for all its water customers in the Skyline Addition North of Riverview Drive; North of Chicago Avenue in Black Eagle; Northwest of Avenue E; North to Great Bear Avenue and Eagles Crossing.
City staff worked closely with Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) staff to remedy this situation as quickly as possible. DEQ determined the water quality testing parameters, as well as the timeframe and requirements for lifting the boil advisory.

As a result, DEQ authorized the City the lift the Boil Advisory effective immediately. Customers no longer need to boil water or consume bottled water.
