The boil advisory for the County Water area in Morongo Valley has been lifted, the water is safe and residents of 161 homes can stop boiling their water. A main pipeline rupture on Tuesday led to the County notifying residents in the Hacienda Heights area, including the streets of Rawson, Oscar, Mecca, Foxtail, and North Star, to boil their water before drinking it or even using it for cooking. About 2:30 Thursday afternoon, a spokesman for the County’s Special Districts Department told Z107.7 news that results of a lab test for bacteria in the repaired water pipe was negative for coliform. Manuel Benitez said the water was good and that the county would be sending out notices to county residents to notify them that the boil advisory was no longer in effect.
