Gold Hill, Ore – The City of Gold Hill has lifted a previously issued “boil order” for users on the city’s water system after it was determined the drinking water is safe for consumption.
The city issued the order ahead of a planned shutdown of the water system on Monday to allow the city to replace shut-off valves throughout town. The shutdown lasted from 3 a.m. until 5 p.m.
The boil order was issued as a precaution. Numerous test results show there was no bacterial contamination in the distribution system and the water is now safe to drink.
