City of Archie under boil order

Residents of the City of Archie are under a mandatory water boil order that began Friday, March 21 and will continue for a least ten days. The boil order was placed into effect by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources after it was discovered that the concrete walls of the secondary settling basin at the Archie water treatment plant have deteriorated so much as to allow water to run over the top of the basin during the water treatment operations. The DNR ordered the basin drained and repairs be made immediately.
