(MSC News)--The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has issued a boil water advisory for part of the Pottawatomie County Rural Water District #4 system, and for the City of Delia water system in Jackson County.
KDHE says the advisory covers the Jeffrey Energy Center, and customers along Jeffery Road east to Highway 63, plus the area between Highway 63 and H Road, from St. Clere Road to Gailand Road—including the city of Delia.
Officials stress customers in Emmett, Westmoreland, Belvue, and St. Marys are not affected.
The advisory took effect Wednesday, February 11th, and will remain in place until the risk of bacterial contamination is resolved. KDHE says a waterline break led to a loss of pressure in the distribution system. Low pressure can reduce chlorine levels and allow contamination.
Until further notice, customers should boil tap water for one minute before drinking or preparing food, or use bottled water.
