(KNZA)--The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has issued a boil water advisory for a portion of Nemaha County Rural Water District #4, located in Nemaha and Jackson Counties.

The advisory affects customers South of 16th Road in Nemaha County and all customers in Jackson County.

KDHE issued the advisory Monday due to a loss of pressure. Failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.

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

The advisory will remain in place until further notice.
