Boil Water Advisory Issued For Jefferson Co Location

By Brian Hagen

05/11/2016

(KAIR)--A boil water advisory is in place for a Jefferson County location.

According to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, the advisory affects the Lakeside Village Improvement District public water supply.

It stems from high water levels in Lake Perry that are impacting the water system's source wells.

The advisory took effect Wednesday and will remain in place until conditions causing the issue can be resolved.

Water that will be used for drinking, or otherwise consumed, should be boiled for one minute prior to use.

Disinfect dishes and other food contact surfaces by immersion for at least one minute in clean tap water that contains one teaspoon of unscented household bleach per gallon of water.

Water used for bathing does not generally need to be boiled. Supervision of children is necessary while bathing so that water is not ingested. Persons with cuts or severe rashes may wish to consult their physicians.

If your tap water appears dirty, flush the water lines by letting the water run until it clears.
