Tap water now safe to drink in Texas city where boy died from brain-eating amoeba

Lake Jackson, Texas — A boil-water notice was lifted Tuesday from the drinking-water system of a Houston-area city where water tainted with a deadly, microscopic parasite was blamed for the death of a 6-year-old boy. Lake Jackson issued the notice late last month after the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality determined that the city's public water supply didn't meet the TCEQ's minimum disinfection standards throughout the entire system, reports CBS Houston affiliate KHOU-TV.

But, the station says, Lake Jackson and the TCEQ confirmed on Monday and Tuesday that the water supply was negative for harmful bacteria and deemed the city's tap water safe to drink.
