Cordell, OK – Cordell residents no longer need to boil their drinking water after city officials announced the boil order was lifted Thursday, November 12, at 11 a.m.
The order had been in place following the detection of E. coli bacteria in the city's drinking water system.
The City of New Cordell had been working with the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to address the issue. State representatives conducted an on-site assessment Monday, November 9, to identify potential problems with the water system or sampling procedures.
Additional water samples were collected November 9 and 10 as part of the testing process.
With the boil order now lifted, residents can resume normal use of their drinking water without boiling it first.
