(KNZA)--The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has issued a boil water advisory for Jefferson County Rural Water District #10 located in Jefferson County.

The advisory was issued Wednesday because of a loss of pressure due to a power outage. KDHE said a loss of pressure can lead to a loss in chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.

Customers are advised to boil the water they use for drinking or food preparation for one minute prior to use or to use bottled water.

The boil advisory will remain in place until further notice.
