(KAIR)--The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has rescinded a boil water advisory for the City of Winchester's public water supply in Jefferson County.

KDHE says the advisory was issued Saturday after the city was unable to maintain the minimum required chlorine residual due to an equipment failure, a situation that can put a water system at risk for bacterial contamination.

According to KDHE, laboratory testing of drinking water samples collected from Winchester showed no evidence of bacteriological contamination, and officials say all other conditions that placed the system at risk have been resolved.
