ALAMOSA — The water in Alamosa is finally fit to drink again — as long as you boil it first.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment announced Thursday that the city is now under a modified yellow alert.
Residents should boil water for at least one minute before drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, or using it to wash fruits, vegetables or utensils and plates.
Under the previous yellow alert, in effect since Sunday, residents could use their household water only to take showers. Before Sunday, under a red alert, they couldn’t use local water at all.
