Commerce Water System lifts Boil Water Advisory

Water from the Commerce Water System is safe to drink.

Commerce Mayor Clark made the announcement Friday afternoon, adding downtown businesses are open and restaurants are prepared to handle to-go orders and offer curbside service.

“It’s safe to drink and cook with the water now,” Hill said after taking a drink of city water.

A Boil Water Advisory was issued earlier this week after a contractor cut into the water main to the city’s water treatment plant, affecting Commerce and a section of Banks Crossing.
