Company officials on Monday issued a notice to Lucerne water customers stating that water quality testing confirmed that the water provided to Cal Water’s Lucerne system customers met all state and federal water quality standards.
That made it no longer necessary to boil water used for drinking and cooking, the company reported.
Cal Water and the California Department of Public Health issued the advisory on April 16 because a mechanical failure the previous evening resulted in the water at the treatment plant not being properly disinfected, with no chlorine added for 12 hours, as Lake County News has reported.
The company said Monday that it will continue to monitor the water quality to ensure that it meets all water quality standards, and that the boil water advisory was a precautionary measure taken until water quality testing could be completed.
