LAWRENCE — The City of Lawrence has lifted a boil water advisory and says water is now safe.
"Following thorough testing and analysis of water samples by our outside laboratory, it has been confirmed that the water is now safe for consumption and all normal uses," a city spokesperson said Tuesday.
The advisory was set in place on Saturday after a water main break.

On Tuesday, the city said repairs were made to the Fort Harrison Water Treatment Plant.
Because the advisory is now lifted, residents are no longer required to boil water for:
· Drinking
· Cooking
· Brushing teeth
· Preparing baby formula
· Other consumption purposes
The city says additional flushing of pipes is not required. Regular water used—such as showering, doing laundry, and flushing toilets — has already kept water moving through your system.
It is advised to discard of any ice made during the advisory and allowing automatic ice makers to produce fresh ice.
"We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this advisory. We understand the inconvenience this may have caused, and we are committed to providing safe and reliable drinking water to our community," A City of Lawrence spokesperson said.
