(KLZA)-- Richardson County  Rural Water District #1 has issued a boil order for their customers. 

The primary purpose of this public notification is to inform consumers of any potential health effects relating to the drinking water being supplied to them.

The System cannot disinfect treated water as required, and therefore it is necessary to vigorously boil water for one minute for drinking and cooking or to use an alternate source of water until the mechanical problem can be resolved, and sampling confirms that no bacteriological contamination has occurred.
Richardson County Rural Water District #1 is continuing to address the problem and work with the Nebraska Department Health and Human Services, Drinking Water Program, to protect the public health.
