The boil water advisory for the City of Dearing's public water supply system has been rescinded.

The advisory was issued due to low pressure in the distribution system. Failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in low chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination. Laboratory testing samples collected from Dearing indicate no evidence of bacteriological contamination and all other conditions that placed the system at risk of contamination are deemed by Kansas Department of Health officials to be resolved.

Public water suppliers in Kansas take measures necessary to notify customers quickly after a system failure or shutdown. Regardless of whether it’s the supplier or the KDHE that announces a boil water advisory, KDHE will issue the rescind order following testing at a certified laboratory.
