(KNZA)--The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has issued a boil water advisory for Atchison County Rural Water District 5C and the city of Lancaster, located in Atchison County.

The advisory was issued Sunday due to a loss of pressure. KDHE says failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.

A related boil water advisory is also issued for Doniphan County Rural Water District 3. According to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, it was issued early Sunday evening, due to the Doniphan County water district purchasing its water from Atchison County Rural Water District 5C.

Customers are advised to boil the water they use for drinking or food preparation for one minute prior to use or use bottled water.

The boil advisory will remain in place until further notice.
