UPDATE — The boil water order has been lifted for two more Mt. Charleston neighborhoods on Saturday.
Officials with the Las Vegas and Kyle Canyon Water Districts have confirmed that the Echo and Cathedral Rock subdivisions in Kyle Canyon now have safe drinking water. Customers are advised to flush any plumbing systems before use to eliminate any remaining poor-quality water.
The Old Town subdivision (alongside six residences and undeveloped parcels nearby) will remain under the initial boil water order.
PREVIOUS — The Las Vegas Valley Water District states drinking water is another step closer to normal in the Kyle Canyon area.
On Friday, district officials said sampling indicates that drinking water in Echo and Cathedral Rock are free of contamination. However, they add another two rounds of water sampling are still needed to confirm the quality of water before they lift the Boil Water Order.

According to the district, they are also flushing service lines that connect water meters to the water main in the street to check water flow. It's to look for leaks. Residents in the area are also advised to flush all respective water fixtures to remove any poor-quality water or sediment from each property's plumbing system.
They add that customers in Old Town are still under a Boil Water Order until further notice.
Those areas were originally put under those orders due to significant damage in the area that was caused by the Hilary storm system.
