A boil water advisory issued for 726 customers served by the Ashton water system on Jerry's Run Road in Boone County has been lifted.
The Mason County Public Service District said in a news release that test results received from the state health department indicate the water is free from contamination.
Customers in the Jerry's Run area of Mason County are being urged to boil their water.
The Mason County Public Service District said in a news release the customers affected include those who live on Seven Mile Ridge, Mount Union, Evergreen, Dunlevy and Beagle Club roads. The water main in the area was depressurized due to a main line rupture.
All water used for drinking, cooking and for brushing teeth should be brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute and allowed to cool before use. The boil water advisory is in effect until further notice.
For more information, contact the public service district at 304-675-6399.
