KDHE issues revised Boil Water Advisory for Atchison Co RWD 5C

(KAIR)--The Boil Water Advisory, issued in mid-October for Atchison County Rural Water District 5C, has been revised.

That word delivered Friday in a release from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, which says the water district, along with its customers of the City of Lancaster, also in Atchison County, and Doniphan County's Rural Water District 3, remain under the revised advisory, issued Friday "because of a waterline break resulting in a loss of pressure in the distribution system." Failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and to contamination.

The advisory remains in place until further notice, with affected users continuing to be told to boil water for at least one minute, or to use bottled water, if its going to be ingested.

KDHE, in the release, specifies that the advisory does not affect water district customers of the city of Nortonville, Doniphan Co RWD 5, or the city of Effingham.

The line break, leading to the revised boil water advisory, happened Friday morning, with Lancaster Mayor Ryan Hermreck telling MSC News crews, at that time, were working to make the needed repairs.
