Officials with the Iowa DNR said Friday, test results from two sets of water samples taken in Elliott show the water is safe to drink. The city has lifted the bottled water advisory issued Tuesday after an electrical failure in the Montgomery County town drained the water tower.

During the advisory, the city furnished bottled water to residents and advised them to drink only bottled water because pressure losses can allow bacteria to enter the water supply pipes.
