Water Treatment Plant Back Up, but Boil Water Notice Continues in Palestine

PALESTINE – Palestine is coping with severe damage around the city following Wednesday night’s storms. The Palestine water treatment plant is back online as of Friday morning after being knocked out during this week’s storms, but the boil water notice continues. Officials said residents must boil water at least three minutes before drinking it. Officials still strongly encourage you to conserve water as much as possible — i.e., no watering yards, limited showers, etc.
