Breaking News: Houghton County Boil Water advisory lifted

HOUGHTON COUNTY -- The Western Upper Peninsula Health Department announces that the boil water advisory has been lifted for all previously affected areas: Atlantic Mine, City of Hancock, portions of Portage Township, and Quincy Hill area of Franklin Township that are supplied with municipal drinking water from Adams Township.

The Michigan Department of Environment Great Lakes and
Energy (EGLE) received satisfactory bacteriologically safe water sample results from Adams Township following the water main repairs indicating that the water is safe for drinking.

Water customers should flush pipes, faucets, and drinking foundations for at least five minutes unless otherwise directed by your local utility. If you experience any discolored water, continue flushing until clear.

Before serving or using water, Food Service Establishment and Retail Food Establishment operators must follow the instructions in the recovery section of their "Emergency Action Plans for Retail Food Establishments" guide.

If you have questions, contact the Western Upper Peninsula Health Department at (906) 482-7382.
