UPDATED Thursday, July 27:

The boil water advisory has been lifted, Tualatin Valley Water District officials said Thursday afternoon.

After repairs were made to the broken valve, water district staff flushed the water lines and collected samples. Water is now safe to drink, officials said.

In some cases, tap water may be discolored form a few hours. If it's discolored, customers should shut off the water and wait several minutes, officials said. After water runs clear, it is safe to use, officials said.

Officials say more than 5,000 Beaverton residents should boil their water until further notice after a water main broke Wednesday afternoon.

A broken valve on a water main caused a loss of water pressure to Tualatin Valley Water District customers south of Farmington Road, the agency said.

The advisory impacts about 5,650 customers.

Officials advise customers to bring water to a rolling boil for one minute before cooling or that they use bottled water. They can also add eight drops of unscented bleach per gallon of water if it is not cloudy.
