Sanford officials said samples from the treated water in the distribution system were absent from coliform bacteria, so at this time there is no need to issue a boil water alert.
The city said on Aug. 27 an assessment sample for one of the wells tested positive for E. coli on Aug. 27 and was immediately taken offline and will remain offline until future tests can show no signs of contamination.
City officials said anyone with specific health concerns about this should consult their doctor.
