Freeport Fire Chief Jim Yarger has announced that the boil water advisory for the Village of Freeport has been lifted effective immediately. The latest tests affirm the water is clean and safe for drinking and all other uses.  A  mishap Oct. 27 allowed river water into the watet system through a fire hydrant.

The Barry Eaton District Health Department ordered the advisory and immediately began flushing the system and continued flushing and testing the water until two completed two tests showing the water system clean of any bacteria before lifting the boil water advisory.
