The City of Odessa remains under a Boil Water Notice, which is expected to be lifted after 10 am on Monday. The delay is due to the requirement for bacterial samples to undergo a 24-hour incubation period. These samples were only collected this morning following the flushing of water lines by city crews.
In response to public inquiries, officials have confirmed that it is safe to shower during a boil water notice. However, they caution against swallowing any water and advise extra care when bathing infants and young children. To minimize the risk of accidental ingestion, it is suggested that sponge baths be considered for these younger demographics.
