The Evansdale Police Department says the second water test came back clean on January 4.

The boil water advisory was lifted at around 8:15 a.m. on Thursday.

Residents don't need to flush their lines and they can use water as usual from faucets.

The department is still working to determine the cause of the problem.

The cold water faucet should run at a slow trickle until further notice.

The water is back on in Evansdale but barely after the town's water tower froze.

Mayor Doug Faas says the water pressure is very low and will stay low for a period of time. He is urging people in town to keep a faucet trickling in the house, preferably on a lower level, to keep pipes from freezing up.

Mayor Faas also says a boil order is in effect until further notice - until the pressure is restored and the water is tested to make sure it is safe.

The town of Evansdale lost water Monday evening after its water tower froze in the extreme cold.

Mayor Doug Faas says crews are on the way to fix the tower and they hope to have it running later Monday night. He says crews will need to manually pump water, so pressure will be lower than normal once it comes back on.

Faas is asking people in town to turn on faucets until the water starts flowing again. When it does come back, people should boil the water before cooking with it or drinking it until tests confirm it is safe.
