The City of Libby continues to work closely with the Montana Department of Environmental Quality to ensure the community’s drinking water remains safe and reliable.
Libby operates under Montana Public Water System ID Permit MT0000274, which requires testing for heavy metals every nine years. The City is fully compliant with this requirement, and results from the two previous testing cycles show that Libby’s water met all state and federal safety standards.
As part of ongoing compliance and efforts to lift the current boil water order, City employees hand delivered water samples to ME Labs in Kalispell on December 15 and 16, 2025, following DEQ requirements. After confirming with both ME Labs and DEQ, the City was informed that heavy metals testing cannot be completed in less than 48 hours. Results from these samples are expected late Thursday evening or the morning of Friday, December 19, which is the earliest possible timeframe.
This testing was initiated in coordination with DEQ out of an abundance of caution to confirm that Libby continues to deliver safe and dependable water to its residents.
