TOPEKA – The Kansas Department of Health and Environment on Saturday rescinded a boil water advisory for Ellis County Rural Water District 1C public water supply. The advisory was issued because of a loss of pressure in the distribution system.
Public water suppliers in Kansas take all measures necessary to notify customers quickly after a system failure or shutdown. Regardless of whether it’s the supplier or KDHE that announces a boil water advisory, KDHE will issue the rescind order following testing at a certified laboratory.
Laboratory testing samples collected from Ellis Co. RWD 1C 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.
