RIXFORD — Water was restored in Rixford about 6 p.m. Tuesday, Rixford Water Association official Jeff Anderson reported.

A boil water advisory will remain in effect until further notice for Rixford residents, according to Anderson, who indicated it would be up to the lab that is testing the water to determine when the advisory will be lifted.

While the water had been restored for about three hours when Anderson contacted The Era, he noted they usually like to have it run for 24 hours to make sure it cycles properly.

Village residents have been without water since lightning struck the village’s water pump Saturday night.
