A boil water advisory is issued for the City of Elk City public water supply system located in Montgomery 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.

 

The advisory was issued on April 24 by the City because of a loss of pressure in the system.

 

 The advisory will remain in effect until it is rescinded by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
