Boil Water Advisory issued for the City of Thayer

The advisory took effect on January 29, 2018 and will remain in effect until conditions which place the system at risk of contamination are deemed by KDHE officials to be adequately resolved.
Customers should observe 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.
Supervision of children is necessary while bathing so that water is not ingested.
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.
Public water suppliers in Kansas take all measures necessary to notify customers quickly after a system failure.
Regardless of whether it’s the supplier or KDHE that announces a boil water advisory, KDHE will issue the rescind order following testing at a certified laboratory.

Swan River to run out of water as pump-system fails: Crisis

Deep, artisan wells feed the water treatment facility from roughly 800 metres away.
For an unknown reason, the wells stopped feeding the facility late Saturday afternoon.
Keep on top of active weather by visiting the ALERTS page.
“We’ve never had to deal with something like this before,” Deputy Mayor Lance Jacobson told the Weather Network.
If this reserve depletes, a boil advisory could go into effect.
Jacobson said crews have been looking into to find the source of the problem, adding that pumps and filters would be pulled up and inspected that day.
“We have really great employees out there working on this tirelessly trying to figure this out, and also some great volunteers from the community,” he said.
“I think we’re getting close.” The municipality ordered large quantities of bottled water on Sunday morning, and Jacobson said that a station would be set up at 7 p.m. where residents could access water in bulk.
Jacobson said the town superintendent had been communicating with experts on wells and water pump systems.
Swan River is a community of 4,000 people located about 480 km northwest of Winnipeg.

Boil water advisory in effect at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi

Officials at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi issued a boil water notice because of a water main break that caused low water pressure.
According to two posts on the air station’s official Facebook page, the alert was issued at 10:35 p.m. Saturday.
The posts state the water is safe to use for showering and washing hands, but should be boiled before drinking, using for cooking or brushing teeth.
The latter post states the main break was discovered about 8:50 p.m. Saturday and was repaired around 10:15 p.m.
The post says the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality mandated the boil water notice.
The base is flushing the system throughout the day Sunday until an adequate level of residuals from the system’s disinfectant, chloramine, is present, the post states.
Samples will be sent to a lab Monday for analysis.
It’s not clear when the notice will be lifted, or whether the recent rain event contributed to the issue.
