TOPEKA – The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has issued a boil water advisory for a portion of the City of Ellis public water supply system.

This advisory affects customers located on Washington Street, between 4th Street and 7th Street.

KDHE issued the advisory because of a loss of pressure in the distribution system due to a main break. Failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.

The advisory took effect on August 19 and will remain in effect until the conditions that placed the system at risk of bacterial contamination are resolved.
