CROW AGENCY- Water on the Crow reservation is once again clean enough to drink from the tap.

Tribal officials announced Wednesday that problems with a broken water line operated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs have been fixed, and the month-long boil water advisory has been lifted.

About 1,200 to 1,500 Crow resident lost water access March 15 when the system lost pressure. The service was restored three days later, but resident were still urged to boil water to protect against contamination.
