(KMZA)--The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has rescinded the boil water advisory for Nemaha County Rural Water District #3.
It was issued June 30th due to a line break that caused a loss of pressure in the system. Failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.
KDHE said Friday laboratory testing samples collected from the water district indicate no evidence of contamination, and all other conditions that placed the system at risk of contamination are deemed by the agency to be resolved.
As a result, customers no longer need to boil the water they use for drinking or food preparation.
