Olds Station Water Safe, Boil Advisory Lifted

The test results for water in Olds Station are in and the Chelan PUD has lifted the boil water advisory.  No coliforms or other microbes were found in any of the water samples taken. Residents and businesses can return to using the Chelan PUD tap water. It is safe to drink for humans and pets.

Sometime early Monday morning the automated controls that operate the PUD’s water system, malfunctioned and a portion of the Chelan PUD water system affecting about 250 customers in the Olds Station area lost pressure. Repairs were made immediately and water service was restored.

When pressure is lost in a water system there is a potential for contamination to enter.
