OXFORD, Miss. — A boil water alert has been lifted for The University of Mississippi Oxford Campus.

State health officials say the tap water is now safe to drink.

Earlier this week a water main broke on campus leaving several buildings without water.

The alert was issued as a precaution, just in the case the water had become contaminated.
