The boil water notice issued for parts of Fort Worth’s Northside neighborhood and an area near Lake Worth on Monday morning has been rescinded, officials announced.
The break in a 24-inch water main at NW 28th Street and Rosen Avenue that prompted the notice has also been repaired.
Officials lifted the notice after testing samples from affected areas and determining the water is safe to consume. The break led to a drop in water pressure that measured below standards set by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Low water pressure can allow harmful bacteria to enter the system.
