On June 27, the city of Yale’s water tower ran low on water, which led to a boil advisory for local residents. The following explanation was provided by Yale Mayor Bev Louk.
“The City of Yale water plant experienced electrical problems early in the morning of June 27, 2024, causing our water tower to run low,” Louk said. “Some residents experienced low or no water pressure.”
Louk stated that the electrical problem was fixed by 4 a.m.
“Working with the Iowa DNR, we issued a Boil Water Advisory for the City of Yale for June 28 and 29,” she said. “Signs were posted around town, and the Advisory was posted on the city’s website and Facebook page.”
Louk said following two rounds of testing, one on June 27 and one on June 28, lab results came back clear.
“So on June 29, the Boil Water Advisory was lifted. Maintaining the safety of our water supply and our citizens is always our top priority.”
