The advisory took effect Saturday, June?6,?2026, after the integrity of the city’s water storage tank was compromised, exposing the water in the tank to possible bacteriological contamination.
Residents are advised to boil water for one minute before using it for drinking or food preparation, or to use bottled water until further notice.
The advisory will remain in effect until testing at a certified laboratory confirms the water is safe to drink. Only the Kansas Department of Health and Environment can rescind the order.
