(KNZA)--The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has issued a boil advisory for the city of Robinson's public water supply system located in Brown County.

The advisory was issued Thursday due to a waterline break resulting in a loss of pressure in the distribution system. Failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.

Due to the extreme cold temperatures and uncertainty of the break, the city says it was advised by crews helping to wait until warmer weather to repair the line. Its projected that repairs will begin mid-morning Monday.

Meanwhile, residents are advised to boil the water they use for drinking or food preparation for one minute or to use bottled water.

The boil advisory will remain in place until further notice.
