The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has issued a boil water advisory for the City of Fort Scott, Bourbon Co RWD #2C, and City of Uniontown public water supply systems located in Bourbon County.

Customers should boil water for one minute prior to drinking or food preparation or use bottled water instead. Dispose of ice cubes from trays and automatic ice makers. If your tap water appears dirty, flush the water lines by letting the water run until it clears.

 

 Water used for bathing does not need to be boiled, but supervision of children is necessary while bathing so that water is not ingested.

 

KDHE officials issued the advisory on April 18 because of a loss of pressure due to a water line break.

 

 The advisory will remain in effect until further notice. This advisory does not affect those customers of city of Fulton nor those of city of Prescott.
