KDHE says the advisory took effect Monday after a waterline break caused a loss of pressure in the distribution system. Officials say that loss of pressure could lead to a drop in chlorine levels and possible bacterial contamination.
The advisory will remain in effect until the system's pressure issues are resolved.
Until further notice, Muscotah water customers are asked to boil water for one minute before drinking or cooking, or to use bottled water instead. Residents should dispose of any ice cubes and avoid using ice from an automatic icemaker.
