Kansas Department of Health and Environment
TOPEKA – The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has issued a boil water advisory for the Nicodemus Township public water supply system located in Graham County.
Customers should observe the following precautions until further notice:
The advisory took effect on October 15, 2026 and will remain in effect until the conditions that placed the system at risk of bacterial contamination are resolved.
KDHE officials issued the advisory 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.
For consumer questions, please contact the water system at 785-421-8824, or KDHE at 785-296-5514. For consumer information please visit KDHE’s PWS Consumer Information webpage:

Restaurants and other food establishments that have questions about the impact of the boil water advisory on their business can contact the Kansas Department of Agriculture’s food safety & lodging program at kda.fsl@ks.gov or call 785-564-6767.
Regardless of whether the public water supplier or Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) announced a boil water advisory, only KDHE can issue the rescind order following testing at a certified laboratory.
