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

The advisory was issued Friday due to a line break resulting in a loss of pressure. KDHE says 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 one minute prior to use or use bottled water.

The boil advisory will remain in place until further notice.
