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.
