Troup water now safe

Published 9:36 pm Thursday, October 22, 2015

All of Troup residents can now drink their tap water without boiling it first.

The city was under a boil water notice for several days after two water mains broke. One failed on Sunday, and the other on Monday.

The breaks caused a major decrease in water pressure and the closure of Troup ISD on Monday.

On Wednesday the water was deemed safe for the majority of the city’s residents and on Thursday the entire city was cleared.
