(KAIR)--A boil order is put in place for the City of Effingham.

A release issued Friday morning by Atchison County Emergency Management says the boil order was issued due to a broken water line.

It will remain in place until further notice.

Effingham water customers are advised to boil the water they use for drinking or food preparation for one minute prior to use, or to use bottled water instead.

According to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.
