(KAIR)--A boil water advisory is in place for the City of Atchison, issued Sunday by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
According to a release from the agency, the advisory was issued "as a precaution because of an increase in turbidity in the treated water," as "high turbidity can lead to a loss of chlorine residual levels and may result in microbial contamination."
Customers of City of Atchison water are instructed to boil all water to be consumed at least one minute prior to use, or, in the alternative, to purchase bottled water as the advisory remains in place.
According to KDHE, the boil water advisory will remain in effect until the conditions that placed the system at risk of bacterial contamination are resolved.
