Boil order advisory lifted for LuVerne

A boil advisory for the city of Lu Verne in Kossuth County has been lifted after a different method of performing maintenance to the system has been chosen.
The boil advisory was originally issued Tuesday afternoon, Aug. 2, in anticipation of performing maintenance on the water tower. After finding out that the tower maintenance is going to take longer than expected, the city will instead bypass the tower using pumps meaning water pressure will be maintained and a boil advisory will not have to be implemented. The water in the tower will be tested and brought back online only after water samples indicate it is safe.
