KDHETOPEKA –&nbsp;The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has rescinded a boil water advisory for&nbsp;Ellis&nbsp;County Rural Water District No.&nbsp;1C.&nbsp;The advisory was issued&nbsp;because of&nbsp;a line break resulting in a&nbsp;loss of pressure in the system. Failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.&nbsp;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.&nbsp;Laboratory testing samples collected from&nbsp;Ellis&nbsp;Co RWD No.&nbsp;1C&nbsp;indicate&nbsp;no evidence of&nbsp;bacteriological&nbsp;contamination and all other conditions that placed the system at risk of contamination are deemed by KDHE officials to be resolved.  &nbsp;For consumer&nbsp;questions, please contact the water system or you may call KDHE at 785-296-5514.&nbsp;For consumer information, visit KDHE’s PWS Consumer Information webpage:&nbsp;<a href="https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kdheks.gov%2Fpws%2Femergencyresponse%2Fwater_disruption.htm&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7Cba86117ffaed4b86ca6c08d7ed271b43%7Cdcae8101c92d480cbc43c6761ccccc5a%7C0%7C0%7C637238624528458523&amp;sdata=8RMwQYMbUdk1PPodGPa3rjdSu9FMrRuX6%2BTH9PvUZU8%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">http://www.kdheks.gov/pws/emergencyresponse/water_disruption.htm</a>&nbsp;
