Robinson boil water advisory recinded
ROBINSON, Kan. (KSNT) – After eight days, the city of Robinson in Brown County no longer has to boil its water.
Saturday afternoon the Kansas Department of Health and Environment rescinded the boil water advisory for the city.
KDHE officials issued the advisory because of a line break that resulted in a loss of pressure in the system.
Officials say testing samples indicate no evidence of contamination, and that all other conditions that put the system under risk of contamination have now been resolved.
Boil water advisory lifted for Franklinville
FRANKLINVILLE — A boil water notice was lifted Friday at 9 a.m. for households and businesses served by the village of Franklinville’s public water supply system.
The notice went into effect Wednesday as crews were shutting down a series of water valves to isolate and complete work on a section of the distribution system.
“When you have a potential loss of pressure then you have to shut off the system; it’s just a regulatory and a precautionary measure,” said Public Works Superintendent Cary Hatch on Thursday morning.
State regulations say the county health department must be notified anytime a municipality loses pressure below 20 pounds. It’s standard operating procedure to issue the notice immediately following a loss of pressure and to take two water samples to confirm the absence of bacteria, said Timothy Zerfas of the Cattaraugus County Health Department.
Hatch confirmed the advisory was lifted at 9 a.m. Friday.
Sunshine Hills residents thirst for better water
Other times, like this past week, some residents have no water at all.
Municipal Authority fix the water system.
However, township supervisors made water available to Sunshine residents last week for drinking and cooking until their water was restored.
In 2014, DEP gave the authority a permit to build a new filter system, water storage and booster pump.
In 2015, the authority received bids on an overhaul of the Sunshine Hill water system, placing the cost at about $1.6 million.
Also last year, the authority, Duncannon, and the SEDA Council of Governments discussed linking the two water systems, forming a cooperative management board, and using block grants to fix the problems in both systems.
In May, the authority said it was speaking with Suez Water about the water company potentially buying or operating the water systems in Penn Twp., including Sunshine Hill’s water and sewer systems.
"We’re looking at natural gas islands," Kiel said.
The idea is to have local companies and agricultural businesses that use large amounts of energy — either for heating or their operations — to switch to trucked natural gas, he said.
Jackson boil water notice issued; another lifted
According to the news release from the office of Jackson Mayor Chokwe Lumumba, this is a precautionary advisory and the boil water notice does not mean the water is unsafe. It means the water must be boiled before use. All customers are advised to boil their drinking water until adequate pressure is restored to the system.
Water must be brought to a rolling boil for one minute for the following: cooking or baking, making ice, taking medication, brushing teeth, washing food, mixing baby formula or food, mixing juices, drinks feeding pets, washing dishes and all other consumption.
The city lifted another boil water notice affecting houses 100-199 on Riviera Drive.

Water main replacement will disrupt traffic
The town council met in special session Tuesday to receive bids from companies interested in replacing roughly 600 feet of water main located along Ind. 3 from approximately the former Spiceland Family Restaurant south to Harrison Street. This section of water main has been prone to breaks and leaks that have required town utility officials to shut down the community’s water system and issue boil advisories on multiple occasions.
“We had some plans drawn up and talked to the folks at IDEM (the Indiana Department of Environmental Management) and they said this project does not have to be permitted. We have the money to pay for it, so it doesn’t have to be bonded.
Town council president Darrin Jacobs noted that in addition to replacing a section of aging water main, the planned work also includes adding additional shut-off valves that will allow utility workers to better isolate sections of the town’s water utility infrastructure, reducing the number of people whose service will potentially be interrupted in the future if a problem of some kind arises.
Three bids were received. The council unanimously voted to go with the bid from Smith Projects as it was the lowest of the three received in addition to the fact the company indicated they can start work as early as next week.
3 next week in the vicinity of Spiceland should keep in mind they are likely to find slowed or stopped traffic and are encouraged to drive cautiously.
Precautionary boil water advisory issued in Franklinville village, town water district
FRANKLINVILLE — A precautionary boil water advisory is in effect in the town and village of Franklinville Water District.
The Cattaraugus County Health Department issued the boil water advisory Wednesday afternoon after a potential loss of pressure in the distribution system was observed as a village Public Works crew was performing regular maintenance.
The boil water notice is in effect until further notice, according to a posting on the town and village’s website.
A statement from the county Health Department cautioned Franklinville residents to “Bring the water to a boil, let it boil for two minutes, and then let it cool before using.” Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms that may be in the water.
Residents may also use bottled water for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and food preparation.
The notice stated while chlorine concentrations remain at normal levels, the advisory was being issued as a precautionary measure by the village, in conjunction with the county Health Department.
David Kays, Franklinville boy’s varsity soccer coach, said the team’s Wednesday home game with Randolph was postponed to Thursday as a result of the advisory. He added the team wasn’t even allowed to hold practice.
A post by the Franklinville Junior-Senior High School’s Twitter account announced Wednesday they will have water available tomorrow, and they also encouraged parents to send their children to school with water.
