(KAIR)--The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has given the Atchison water system a clean bill of health and the boil advisory that went into affect Thursday has been lifted. According to a press release from the city, tests were conducted on the systems after the plant underwent a major repair causing water to drain from the system and a loss of pressure. That created the potential for the introduction of contaminants, with the boil advisory issued as a precaution.
The advisory also affected Atchison County Rural Water District #5 and Doniphan County Rural Water District #3.
The city is working on several upgrades to the system, which should help to prevent a similar situation in the future.
