The Kansas Department of Health and Environment rescinds a boil water advisory for Montgomery County Rural Water District 2C B.

The advisory was issued due to low pressure in the distribution system. Failure to maintain adequate pressure in the distribution system may result in low chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination. Laboratory testing samples collected from Montgomery County RWD 2C B 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.

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