(COUNCIL BLUFFS) — Officials with the Regional Water Rural Water Association, Friday, announced the lifting of boil orders for all customers in Pottawattamie County and the remaining customers throughout their service area. Water use systemwide can return to normal use.

However, Regional Water is recommending that customers lifted from advisory status as of Friday, cycle any  automatic icemakers you have before using their ice for human consumption. If you do not have any other guidance from your manufacturer on how to do so, we recommend that you throw out all ice that was made during the boil advisory and let the ice maker run for a full twenty-four-hour cycle; throwing out any ice made during that time before using it normally. If your ice maker comes with different instructions on how to flush it, follow those instructions instead of their provided recommendation.

Further updates from emergency management regarding this incident aren’t anticipated. Regional Water system updates, alerts, and additional information can be obtained directly from Regional Water Rural Water Association’s website at https://www.rwrwa.org/.
