(KNZA)--The city of Hiawatha is no longer under a consent order from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment due to nitrate
issues.
City Administrator Mike Nichols delivered the long awaiting news to the Hiawatha City Commission Monday evening.
Mayor Bill Collins said the city finally received a clean bill of health.
As of April 5, Nichols said KDHE has terminated the consent order.
It was issued several years ago due to the ongoing problem of high nitrates in the city’s water supply.
A new water treatment plant went on line in October delivering water that is low in nitrates.
