Ephrata has lifted a precautionary water boil advisory after city officials confirmed the safety of the water supply, addressing concerns stemming from low water pressure. City Administrator Ray Towry stated that the advisory was a proactive measure rather than a response to a confirmed health threat. The advisory was issued following reports of low water pressure and a malfunctioning monitoring system that prevented timely alerts. City staff quickly responded by manually activating well pumps and flushing the system to eliminate stagnant water. After verifying the absence of any immediate risks, the boil advisory was rescinded in coordination with state drinking water authorities.

The situation underscores the city's commitment to maintaining water quality and community safety. Residents are invited to reach out to City Hall for further inquiries and are encouraged to participate in the Ephrata Community Survey. This incident highlights the importance of effective water management and communication in local governance.
