Chokio Water Advisory Lifted

Chokio’s boil water advisory has been lifted. A notice dated May 12 says Chokio’s drinking water is safe, the drinking water problem has been corrected, and the advisory has ended.

Residents can stop boiling their water and use tap water as usual. The city advises flushing the plumbing system by running each cold-water faucet for about five minutes, or until the water is noticeably colder.

The advisory was issued May 11 after a loss of pressure in the distribution system. Officials say the issue has now been corrected. Anyone who experiences unusual symptoms that persist is advised to seek medical advice, and people at increased risk should contact their health care provider with questions about drinking water.
