OSKALOOSA, Iowa (AP) — Officials says residents in Oskaloosa and Beacon no longer need to boil their water after testing found the water was safe to drink. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources lifted the boil advisory Thursday. Officials asked residents to boil their water Tuesday after a pump failure caused two water towers at the Oskaloosa treatment plant to empty. The low pressure created the possibility for bacteria to enter the water system.
