(KNZA)--The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has rescinded a boil water advisory for the Jefferson County community of Nortonville.
That word came Tuesday morning in a news release from KDHE.
The boil advisory was issued Friday because of a line break resulting in a loss of pressure in the system. Failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.
The release says laboratory testing samples collected from the city of Nortonville 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.
