| A boil water notice that was issued Thursday, Sept. 22, for North Attleborough and Plainville was lifted Friday afternoon. |
| According to an announcement from the town, the order was lifted for both towns as of 4 p.m. on, Friday, Sept. 23. The order was put in place following the discovery of E. coli in routine water samples from the raw part of the water system and treatment facility shared by the two towns at 9 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 21. Testing continued over the next two days. |
