The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has issued a Do Not Drink Warning for the City of Sylvia public water supply system located in Reno County.

KDHE officials issued the advisory on April 17 because of a loss of pressure due to a water line break.

Customers should not drink water, or use it to prepare food or adults, chirldren or infants. Due to the presence of nitrates in the water, even boiled water is not safe to consume. Water is safe for bathing and flushing toilets.

This warning for the City of Sylvia will remain in effect until further notice.
