(KAIR)--Atchison- water emergency officially comes to an end, following action of the Atchison City Commission Monday.
During Monday- meeting of the Commission, a resolution, declaring an end to the water emergency, was adopted.
According to the City, the declaration of water emergency in late December was made in response to extremely low Missouri River levels which had compromised the ability of the City to draw water from the Missouri River. The record low river levels were
primarily due to the formation of ice jams upstream, which finally broke loose and passed by Atchison in mid-February.
The City says river levels are now at a point that the intake facility has resumed use of the primary pumps, and the emergency pumps, made necessary due to the former low levels, have been removed from service.
