BLAINE, Minn. (KMSP) - Residents in Blaine, Minnesota, no longer need to boil their water before consumption.
The boil advisory ended at 4 p.m. Monday after test results indicated that there are no safety or contamination issues with the water, according to Bob Therres, Blaine public services manager/public works director.
A water outage struck the city and surrounding areas Sunday morning due to what officials believe was a software communication systems failure.
Several schools in the Anoka-Hennepin, Spring Lake Park and Centennial school districts were closed on Monday because of the outage.
