Boil Water Advisory Hits Kansas Town | Wichita News
Description
A boil water advisory just hit a town in south-central Kansas after a well pump failure dropped water pressure, letting harmful bacteria slip in. Health officials urge everyone to boil water for at least one minute before drinking or cooking, or use bottled water. Skip fridge ice and automatic ice makers. If water looks cloudy, run it until clear. For dishes and food-contact surfaces, mix a teaspoon of bleach per gallon. Bathing’s fine — just watch kids to prevent swallowing. The advisory stays until KDHE confirms safety through lab testing, even if the pump’s fixed. For questions, contact KDHE or local water authorities; businesses should call their designated food safety line.
