Mercer Island boil order stands
MERCER ISLAND — The city of Mercer Island says water samples have tested clean of E. coli for a fourth day, but a boil water advisory stands.
The city said a task force is discussing when the Seattle suburb can return to normal.
City spokesman Ross Freeman said officials don’t want to lift the advisory only to have to impose it again as they did last week.
The city not only has to have clean water, it has to prove it’s done everything possible to search for the contamination.
Inspections of water lines, construction sites and even having a diver inspect the city’s two water tanks have not found the source of the problem.
