A fire hydrant failure that interrupted water service on Monday and put many in Starkville under a boil water notice has been repaired and customers can expect the advisory to be lifted on Thursday.
Starkville Utilities General Manager Terry Kemp told the Starkville Daily News on Tuesday that there were no more reports of brown water coming from taps in the affected area.
The boil water notice includes Starkville Utilities customers in the Valley Hills subdivision, in addition to Summertree Road, East Garrard Road and Old West Point Road north of Garrard Road.
City officials hope to soon have the results of the water sample tests so the advisory can be lifted.
The specific time for when the boil water notice will be lifted has not been determined.
The fire hydrant failure on East Garrard Road occurred sometime Monday afternoon, and crews had to replace the tap on the hydrant to repair it, which interrupted water service for several hours.
