Kansas Department of Health and Environment
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has rescinded a boil water advisory for the Nicodemus Township public water supply system located in Graham County.
Laboratory testing of drinking water samples collected from the Nicodemus Township indicates 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.
The advisory was issued because of equipment malfunction causing a loss of chlorine residual. Failure to maintain required chlorine residual levels may put the system at risk for 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 notice following testing at a certified laboratory.
