(KNZA)--The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has rescinded a boil water advisory for the Jefferson County community of Winchester.

That word came in a news release issued Wednesday morning by the agency.

The advisory was issued Saturday because of a loss of pressure in the city’s water system due to an equipment failure.  Failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.

According to the news release, laboratory testing samples collected from the City of Winchester 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.
