SOUTH ROYALTON — The Royalton Fire District 1 on Thursday lifted a boil-water order that had been in place for more than two weeks, following flooding.

In a message to the system’s users, the district encouraged them to run their faucets for a few minutes in order to ensure they are getting fresh, chlorinated water.

The boil-water order was first instituted on July 12 after storms swept through the state, causing widespread flooding.

The Royalton system generally gets its water from the nearby White River, which was deemed too contaminated to use. Following the flooding, it switched to using a reservoir, but still struggled with high turbidity, or suspended particles.

Judy Hayward, administrative assistant, told the Valley News earlier this week that the district had flushed hydrants over the weekend and was sending samples for testing on Tuesday. It was the results of those tests that allowed the district to drop the boil-order requirement.
