Water main repaired in Overton; boil water notice in effect

OVERTON — The City of Overton has issued a boil water notice after it experienced a break in a 10″ water main on FM 850, according to the Overton Police Department’s Facebook page. Due to weather and the severity of the break, officials said it would take longer than usual to repair — but the city now says the break has been fixed, though the boil notice will remain in effect until the water has been tested. You may also use bottled water, and the city reported Saturday afternoon that Overton had received four pallets of water by request to the state. If you live inside the City of Overton and are in need of drinking water, officials say they would hand out one case per family starting at 9 a.m. Sunday.
