The Kansas Department of Health and Environment rescinds the boil water advisory for the City of West Mineral in Cherokee County.

 

The original order was issued on Monday after repairs to a water line caused concern for possible bacterial contamination. Laboratory testing of drinking water samples collected from the City of West Mineral indicates no evidence of bacteriological contamination.

 

K-D-H-E has deemed that all issues that placed the water supply at risk have been resolved.

 

The boil water advisory for Allen County Rural Water District #15 remains in effect.
