Raleigh boil water advisory canceled

City officials canceled the advisory about 5 p.m. Monday after tests showed no bacterial contamination in the water.

Water in that area was shut down Sunday evening by mistake and restored about 6:30 p.m. The shutdown led to a loss in water pressure, which meant there was a potential for bacterial contamination from cross-connections or back siphonage.

When a boil water advisory is issued, residents shoud boil water for a full minute before using for drinking, cooking, ice-making or brushing teeth. Infants and pregnant women should use bottled water if possible.
