(KAIR)--The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has rescinded a partial boil water advisory for the City of Perry public water supply system located in Jefferson County.

A release from KDHE explains that the partial advisory was issued because of a waterline break resulting in a loss of pressure in the distribution system. Failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.

Laboratory testing of drinking water samples collected from the City of Perry 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.
