IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER
Health Advisory Has Been Lifted
City of Libby PWS ID # MT000274
March 2, 2026
Our public water system experienced catastrophic flooding and subsequent water treatment plant difficulties that required a boil water order to be issued on December 11, 2025. The boil water order was downgraded to a health advisory on January 16, 2026, after it was demonstrated that the treatment plant was reliably meeting treatment requirements. Flushing of the distribution system was needed prior to lifting the health advisory to remove any contaminants that may have been present in water mains.
City personnel have completed the needed distribution system flushing. The Health Advisory is now being lifted effective immediately. The city of Libby has been monitoring the distribution system daily since the boil water order was issued on the December 11, 2025, and was downgraded to a health advisory on January 16, 2026. Since December 29, 2025, there has been no unsatisfactory results.
