11:55 a.m. Lamar lifts boil order
LAMAR, Mo. — State officials on Friday lifted a boil order that had been imposed July 10 on the water system for the city of Lamar.
The order advising residents to boil their water before using it was issued because of because the water was clouded. The problem has been corrected, and the system brought back into compliance, according to an announcement from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
System customers using the water are being asked to open faucets throughout their homes or buildings and allow the water to run for several minutes to ensure that clouded water in service lines and internal pumping systems has been flushed.
Anyone who notices clouded water, or water with an odor, should contact water system officials. Residents with questions or who need guidance on flushing internal plumbing by contact the city of Lamar at (417) 682-5554 or (417) 682-5554.
City officials discovered last weekend that a collapsed intake pipe in the Lamar Lake, the city’s drinking supply, was the cause of the problem. The cable that holds the pipe at the desired level had broken and the intake pipe had dropped onto the floor of the lake.
The cable was reattached and by Monday night, water laving the city’s treatment plant had been returned to the required level, according to officials with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
That allowed the city to begin flushing the turbid water from its distribution system so the order could be lifted.
