(KNZA)--A boil water advisory has been issued for the Atchison County community of Lancaster.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment issued the advisory Tuesday because the city will be conducting line repairs that will require water to be temporarily shut off to 18 homes. The homes are located on the north side of West Broadway Street.
Failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.
KDHE says customers should boil water used for drinking or food preparation for one minute prior to use, or use bottled water.
The advisory will remain in effect until further notice.
