Newton’s boil-water advisory was lifted Tuesday, Dec. 31 after water-quality tests confirmed that the water meets all safety and health standards, according to a statement posted on the town’s website.
The necessary repairs have been completed, the statement said.
Newton issued a limited boil-water advisory after a water main break at the water service main on Diller Avenue on Sunday, Dec. 29.
The break caused a significant loss of water pressure, possibly threatening the water quality.
Residents were advised to boil water until it could be tested.
Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.
