Boil water advisory issued for University Park Water District in Riley County.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment issued the advisory Tuesday morning because the system will be replacing valves that may cause a loss of pressure.
KDHE says customers should look at the following precautions until further notice: Boil water for one minute prior to drinking or food preparation, or use bottled water.
 Dispose of ice cubes and do not use ice from a household automatic icemaker.
 Disinfect dishes and other food contact surfaces by immersion for at least one minute in clean tap water that contains one teaspoon of unscented household bleach per gallon of water.
 Water used for bathing does not generally need to be boiled.
Persons with cuts or severe rashes may wish to consult their physicians.
 If your tap water appears dirty, flush the water lines by letting the water run until it clears.
