(KNZA)- A boil water advisory has been issued for the city of White Cloud in Doniphan County.

The advisory was issued Tuesday as a precautionary measure.

According to the city's Facebook page, they was notified late Tuesday afternoon that many residents were experiencing low water pressure. City officials say the problem occurred due to water storage tanks being too low.

Customers are advised to boil the water they use for drinking and food preparation for three minutes prior to use or to use bottled water.

The advisory will remain in place until further notice.
