Jefferson Co boil advisory lifted
09/18/2018

(KAIR)--The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has rescinded a boil water advisory for Jefferson County Rural Water District No. 10, in Jefferson County.  The advisory was issued because of a line break resulting in a loss of pressure in the system.  Failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.

Public water suppliers in Kansas take all measures necessary to notify customers quickly after a system failure or shutdown. Regardless of whether it’s the supplier or KDHE that announces a boil water advisory, KDHE will issue the rescind order following testing at a certified laboratory.

Laboratory testing samples collected from Jefferson County Rural Water District No. 10 indicate no evidence of contamination and all other conditions that placed the system at risk of contamination are deemed by KDHE officials to be resolved.
