(KAIR)--The public water supply in an area of Jefferson County, the Lakeside Village Improvement District, has been placed under a boil water advisory issued Wednesday by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
According to a release from the state health agency, the advisory was issued because of a loss of pressure due to water tower maintenance. Failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.
The boil water advisory, KDHE says, will remain in effect until the conditions that placed the system at risk of bacterial contamination are resolved.
Customers of the Lakeside Village Improvement District's public water supply are told by KDHE to either use bottled water, or to boil water for one minute prior to ingesting, while the advisory is in place.
