Roberts Boli Orders too common

Boil orders in Roberts just won't go away. The small Ford County community is battling water line breaks and the cold weather has offered no relief.

Only a few days after a boil order was lifted in town, residents are again being asked to boil their drinking water until further notice.


The second boil order in a one-week span is in effect, and it likely will remain so until Wednesday or Thursday, according to Village Board President Rick Flessner.

The boil order was prompted by a broken water main discovered shortly after 2 p.m. Sunday.  One water main was fixed then another popped. Flessner said workers are diligently trying to solve the problems and he's asking for residents to be paitient.
