(KMZA)--The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has issued a boil water advisory for the Pottawatomie County community of Westmoreland.

The advisory was issued Tuesday because of a line break which caused a loss of pressure. Failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.

KDHE says customers should 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 effect until further notice.
