The state has lifted a "boil water" notice for Dos Palos. All residents can safely use their water and the state is getting in touch with individual restaurants to give the clearance to start using ice and soda machines.
Residents had been told to boil their tap water since mid-summer, when a high concentration of algae from the California aqueduct system clogged the aging water filtration system in Dos Palos. A new system is now up and running.
