A boil water advisory is issued for parts of the Wilson County Rural Water Districts.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has issued a boil water advisory for portions of Wilson County Rural Water Districts 10 and 11 following a waterline break. The advisory affects customers of Rural Water District 10 who live along Highway 75 north of 1800 Road and customers of Rural Water District 11 who live along Highway 75 north of the city of Buffalo. Residents should boil water for at least one minute before drinking or preparing food, or use bottled water instead. Customers should also discard ice made with tap water, avoid using automatic ice makers, and flush water lines if the water appears dirty.

The advisory was issued after a loss of water pressure in the distribution system, which can reduce chlorine levels and increase the risk of bacterial contamination. The advisory will remain in place until testing confirms the water is safe to use again.
