(KAIR)--The Boil Water Advisory, issued Thursday for the City of Atchison, is expected to be lifted Saturday.
That’s according to a Friday morning release posted to the City of Atchison’s social media.
According to the release, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment Friday morning confirmed they will rescind the advisory Saturday morning, pending the lab results of the samples collected Friday.
Until the all clear is given, City of Atchison water customers should continue to boil all water that will be consumed for one minute prior to use.
The Boil Water Advisory was issued due to a water main break Thursday under Atchison’s 5th Street viaduct.
According to the release, repairs were completed by Atchison crews around 1:30 Friday morning.
The Boil Water Advisory was issued because failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.
