St. Louis, MO, August 18, 2026 —
St. Louis City officials have lifted a precautionary boil water advisory that had been in effect for multiple neighborhoods. The advisory was initially issued following storm-related power outages that affected the Chain of Rocks Water Treatment Plant, leading to low water pressure in the affected areas.
The Water Division confirmed that the advisory was put in place as a safety measure due to the temporary disruption in water pressure. However, the division emphasized that no contamination of the drinking water supply was detected during the period of the advisory.
The decision to lift the advisory means that residents in the impacted neighborhoods no longer need to boil their water before consumption or use. Water service is now considered safe for all normal uses.
