Pottawatomie Co RWD #4 out, City of Delia still under boil water advisory

(MSC News)--The Kansas Department of Health and Environment reports a boil water advisory remains in effect for the City of Delia in Jackson County.

At the same time, KDHE has rescinded the boil water advisory for the Pottawatomie County Rural Water District 4 public water supply system in Pottawatomie County.

The advisory for Pottawatomie County RWD 4 was issued following a waterline break in the distribution system that resulted in a loss of pressure in part of the system. KDHE notes that inadequate pressure can lead to a loss of chlorine residuals and increase the potential for bacterial contamination.

KDHE officials say laboratory testing of drinking water samples collected from Pottawatomie County RWD 4 shows no evidence of bacteriological contamination, and that conditions placing the system at risk have been resolved.
