"The test results from the lab came back clear. We sent these results to the DNR, and after consulting with them, they allowed our advisory to be lifted. The Village will be submitting a second, routine, water sample to the lab at the request of the DNR, but it is unlikely that the results will be different," Benjamin Hubrich, Village of Butler Administrator, said.
