Boil water advisory rescinded for Nemaha Co.
NEMAHA COUNTY (KSNT) - The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has rescinded a boil water advisory for Nemaha County Rural Water District Number Three on Sunday.
The public water supply system had an advisory issued because of a line break that resulted in a loss of pressure to the system. Failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.
KDHE said water suppliers in Kansas take all measures necessary to notify customers quickly after a system failure of shutdown. Whenever a supplier or KDHE announces an advisory, KDHE will always rescind the order after testing in a certified lab.
After testing, samples found no evidence of bacteriological contamination and all other conditions that placed the system at risk are deemed resolved.
