(KNZA)--A boil advisory issued for water customers of the Kickapoo Reservation in December has been rescinded.
The tribe was notified Tuesday by EPA Region 7 that the advisory may be lifted.
The EPA recommended the advisory be issued December 21st in response to concern that the water may contain disease causing organisms due to possible elevated turbidity levels leaving the water treatment plant.
Corrective actions were taken to restore adequate filtration.
After reviewing the monitoring data submitted Sunday morning, the EPA says it believes the water leaving the plant is "consistently and reliably meeting applicable health standards."
Based on the information provided, the EPA says they believe the water no longer poses a health risk to consumers.
