TOPEKA, Kan. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has issued a boil water advisory for the Howison Heights public water supply located in Saline County.

KDHE officials issued the advisory because of a loss of pressure.

The agency says failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.

The advisory will remain in effect until the KDHE deems conditions and the risk of contamination adequately resolved.
