Water samples were drawn yesterday and today and will be taken again on Thursday. It takes five days to get test results.
Kiser says the city will receive the first set of water sample results on Monday. The signs will remain posted along Wolf Creek below the Highway 20 overpass and downstream of the water treatment plant until the city receives the appropriate clearance.
