Boil advisory rescinded for Jeff Co water district


(KNZA)--The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has rescinded a boil water advisory for Jefferson County Rural Water District #7 in Jefferson County.

That word came Thursday afternoon in a news release from the agency.

The boil advisory was issued Wednesday morning 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 water district  indicate no evidence of bacterial contamination and all other conditions that placed the system at risk of contamination are deemed by KDHE officials to be resolved.
