(KAIR)--A boil water advisory for the city of Effingham has been rescinded.
That word came Wednesday afternoon in a news release from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
The advisory was issued Tuesday for the Atchison County community because of a loss of pressure in the system due to a line break.
Failure to maintain adequate pressure can lead to a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.
KDHE said it has been determined that the line break did not cause a loss of pressure to the system.
As a result, Effingham water customers no longer need to boil the water they use for drinking or food preparation.
