TOPEKA –&nbsp;The Kansas Department of Health and Environment&nbsp; has rescinded a boil water advisory for&nbsp;the&nbsp;city of&nbsp;Smith Center&nbsp;public water supply system located in&nbsp;Smith&nbsp;County.&nbsp;The advisory was&nbsp;issued&nbsp;due to&nbsp;a line break&nbsp;resulting in a loss of pressure in the system.&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 the City of Smith Center&nbsp;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;&nbsp;

For consumer questions, please contact the water system at:&nbsp;785-282-3812&nbsp;or you may call KDHE at 785-296-5514.&nbsp;For consumer information please visit KDHE’s PWS Consumer Information webpage:&nbsp;<a href="https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDAsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmtkaGUua3MuZ292LzQ2OC9Db25zdW1lci1JbmZvcm1hdGlvbi1SZWdhcmRpbmctYS1EaXNydXB0P3V0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1nb3ZkZWxpdmVyeSIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMzA3MTUuNzk3MTU2OTEifQ.6TGbB965f_hmSvdbLBIT6_dSHXwcLLqX3FxGTJ8AUh8/s/1305913623/br/222737453868-l" target="_blank">kdhe.ks.gov/waterdisruption</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;
