TOPEKA –&nbsp;The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has rescinded a boil water advisory for the city of Bird City, located in Cheyenne County. The advisory was issued because of&nbsp;a loss of pressure in the system due to a line break.&nbsp;Failure to maintain adequate pressure can lead to a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.

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 the City of Bird City 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. &nbsp;
