Both cities lifted their advisories on Sunday after independent lab testing showed the water is safe to use.
ST. CHARLES COUNTY, Mo. — Two days after issuing its boil advisory order, the City of St. Peters lifted the advisory Sunday morning.
Around 8 a.m., the City said it received quality test results from an independent lab, confirming the water is safe after the water main was repaired on Friday.
At around noon, the City of St. Charles also lifted its boil order.
“Laboratory analysis has confirmed that all water quality parameters meet or exceed state and federal safety standards, and tap water is safe for drinking, cooking, and all household uses,” the City of St. Charles said on social media. “We appreciate your patience and cooperation as our crews worked to resolve the issue and awaited final laboratory confirmation.”
The order was made after a private contractor reportedly damaged a critical water interconnection pipeline on Thursday that is jointly owned by St. Charles and St. Peters, according to officials from both cities.
Both cities have already lifted water conservation orders.
The outage affected more than 100,000 residents across both cities, which caused some disruption for the Festival of the Little Hills this weekend.
