(KAIR)--The final Atchison County location under a boil water advisory has now been removed from the precaution.
That word was delivered Saturday by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, which says the City of Lancaster is now in the clear.
The advisory was issued last week because of a waterline break resulting in a loss of pressure in the Atchison Co RWD 5C distribution system, which provides water to the city of Lancaster, with KDHE adding that failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.
Laboratory testing of drinking water samples collected from the City of Lancaster indicate no evidence of bacteriological contamination and all other conditions that placed the system at risk of contamination are deemed by KDHE officials to be resolved.
All other locations affected by the advisory were cleared by the start of the weekend.
