(KAIR)--The Kansas Department of Health and Environment, on Friday, issued a boil water advisory for the City of White Cloud public water supply system in Doniphan County.

The advisory took effect following a waterline break that caused a loss of pressure in the distribution system.

KDHE says a loss of adequate pressure can result in reduced chlorine levels and possible bacterial contamination.

Until further notice, customers should boil water for one minute before drinking or using it for food preparation, or use bottled water.

The advisory will remain in effect until the conditions that placed the water system at risk have been resolved.
