(KMZA)--The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has rescinded a boil water advisory for Pottawatomie Co. Rural Water District No. 1.

The advisory was issued Friday because of a loss of pressure in the distribution system due to a waterline break.  Failure to maintain adequate pressure can lead to a loss of chlorine residual levels and may result in bacterial contamination.

Public water suppliers in Kansas take all measures necessary to notify customers quickly after a system failure or shutdown. Regardless of whether it’s the supplier or KDHE that announces a boil water advisory, KDHE will issue the rescind order following testing at a certified laboratory.

Laboratory testing samples collected from Pottawatomie Co. RWD No. 1 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.
