TAMPA, Fla — Tampa says its water is safe to drink again, and its boil-water notice has been rescinded.
A second round of water samples taken after Monday night’s Tampa water main break came back showing no signs of contamination in the city’s drinking water.
Contractors working near the city’s main water treatment plant punctured a water main Monday evening, sending a flood of water into a nearby neighborhood and causing concern the city’s entire drinking water supply could have suffered possible contamination. The testing indicates it wasn't contaminated.
A precautionary boil water notice was first issued Monday evening and has impacted businesses throughout the city that rely on clean drinking water ever since.
