Boil Water Advisory lifted for Effingham
10/12/2022

(KAIR)--The City of Effingham is no longer under a Boil Water Advisory.  

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment Wednesday rescinded the advisory issued earlier this week because of a line break that caused a loss of pressure in the system. According to the health agency, failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.  

However, KDHE, in a release Wednesday, said “laboratory testing samples collected from the City of Effingham indicate no evidence of bacteriological contamination and all other conditions that placed the system at risk of contamination are deemed by KDHE officials to be resolved.”
