Doniphan Co RWD no longer under boil water advisory

(KAIR)--Doniphan County Rural Water District #3 is no longer under a boil water advisory, with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, Thursday, rescinding the advisory.

According to a release from the state health department, the advisory was issued Monday because of a waterline break resulting in a loss of pressure in the Atchison County Rural Water District 5C. distribution system, which provides water to the Doniphan County water district, with failure to maintain adequate pressure possibly resulting in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination; however, the release explains that "laboratory testing of drinking water samples collected from the Doniphan Co RWD 3 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."

KDHE emphasizes that the Boil Water Advisory remains in effect for the City of Lancaster, in Atchison County, despite the agency, on Wednesday, rescinding the boil water advisory for Atchison County Rural Water District 5C.
