Boil order lifted on Rocky Boy

A boil order put in place by the Chippewa Cree Tribe on Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation has been lifted, a post made Friday on the Tribe's official Facebook page says,

The order was lifted, the post says, after tests conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency concluded that tap water from the reservation's water system, is safe to use, and no longer needed to be boiled to kill bacteria.

The order was put in place in February when the reservation was plagued by water shortages caused by low water pressure and a loss of water from broken pipes in unheated, abandoned homes.
