The city of Caney is once again dealing with water pressure issues from its water tower. Frozen water lines over the weekend caused water pressure throughout the town to drop considerably. Officials say the frozen line was located Sunday evening, but low-pressure problems continue to linger after city personnel began the thaw-out process. The boil order is in effect until further notice.

 

According to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, customers should boil water for one minute prior to drinking or food preparation or use bottled water. You should also dispose of ice cubes and not use ice from a household automatic icemaker.

 

If your tap water appears dirty, flush the water lines by letting the water run until it clears.

City officials say bottles of water are available at the Police Station and the Fire Department for free!
