(KAIR)--The all clear is given, as the Kansas Department of Health and Environment rescinds the boil water advisory for the public water supply system in Effingham, located in Atchison County.
The agency, Friday morning, announced that the advisory had been lifted as laboratory testing of drinking water samples collected from Effingham indicate no evidence of bacteriological contamination, meaning all other conditions that placed the system at risk of contamination are deemed by KDHE officials to be resolved.
The advisory was issued Wednesday because of 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.
