Two Boil Water Orders are in effect for southwest Missouri.

The latest was issued on Monday by the City of Billings due to a water line break that occurred forcing crews to shutdown the water main for a time. City officials tell Ozarks First that the line has been repaired and water will be tested Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the Department of Natural Resources continues a Boil Water Order for Ozark Beach Resort near Powersite due to E Coli contamination found in a water sample.

People in these areas are encouraged to boil water briskly before consumption.
