BATTLE GROUND, WA (KPTV) -

The water emergency in Battle Ground has been lifted.

On Sept. 14, a pump failure forced the city to issue the emergency. It called for residents to voluntarily reduce their water use. The water conservation efforts helped the city maintain a safe level of water in the reservoirs.

The pump has been repaired and is now fully operational.
