(KLZA)--Auburn, Nebraska residents can again consume the public water, following successful repairs made Wednesday afternoon.

That comes following what the Auburn Board of Public Works calls a chemical feed malfunction at the Peru Water Plant.

The problem, which occurred Wednesday, led to an overfeed of chlorine, making the water potentially unsafe to consume.

However, by 4:15 Wednesday afternoon, the all clear was given, with the Board of Public Works saying water can again be consumed.
