Precautionary boil order lifted near Arena Park

The city of Cape Girardeau announced Thursday evening a precautionary boil order in residential areas near Arena Park has been lifted.

The water in the area has been tested and is safe, according to a news release from the city.

The order was issued Wednesday night because of a water-main break that caused low water pressure. The main break had been repaired, but the Missouri Department of Natural Resources requires precautionary boil advisories when water pressure drops below 20 pounds per square inch, according to a news release.

The affected areas are west of Kingshighway near Arena Park, along Hopper Road east of Mount Auburn Road, and part of Mount Auburn Road north of Hopper Road.
