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

The advisory was issued Tuesday because of a water main break that may put the city's water system at risk for bacterial contamination.

Customers are urged to boil the water they use for drinking and food preparation for one minute prior to use or to use bottled water.

The advisory will remain in effect until further notice.
