A public forum has been scheduled in Rye, New Hampshire, as an order for residents in the town to boil their water approaches a fourth week.
Rye officials announced an informational session on Sunday at Rye Junior High School from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.
The boil water order was initially issued on Oct. 12 following the discovery of E. coli in the town's water supply.
Officials said that daily lift samples conducted Tuesday should be available later Wednesday or early Thursday. Tank 1 in Rye on Washington Road was inspected on Monday, officials said, with no issues detected. About 1/4 an inch of sediment was discovered in the tank, officials said, an amount which is within acceptable state limits.
