TOPEKA, Kan. – The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) have issued a boil water advisory for the public water supply in southwest KCK, Edwardsville and Lake of the Forest.
KDHE officials issued the advisory because of a loss of pressure. This is a result of a main break located near 86th Street and Interstate 70.
Around 2,700 customers are impacted by the boil water advisory.
The advisory took effect on November 17, and will remain in effect until conditions which place the system at risk of contamination are deemed safe by KDHE officials.

- Boil water for one minute prior to drinking or food preparation, or use bottled water.

- 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.

UPDATE: Boil-water advisory lifted in Harmar Hill area of Marietta
by Lexus Robinson, originally posted on November 21, 2016
A boil-water advisory issued after completion of work on the Harmar Hill water tank in Marietta has been lifted.
The city says sampling results have been received and verified and that the water is safe for drinking purposes.
The advisory was issued on Monday as city workers placed the 100,000 gallon water tank back into service. It had been offline since September for maintenance and repairs.
The Harmar Water Tank has been out of service since Sept. 14th in order for officials to apply a new coating system and replacement of the cathodic protection system.
The last time the tank had work done on it was about 15 years ago. The project cost about $310,000.
The boil advisory started at 9 a.m. today and will run through tomorrow.
Water Superintendent Jeff Kephart says the tank shouldn’t need service again for another 15 to 18 years.
“It helps out in that we’re maintaining our infrastructure and it does provide a quality water storage tank,” Kephart said. “The inside is now clean, coated, no rust, no corrosion going on. We’ve also had a new cathodic protection installed which also protects the inside of the tank from corrosion. The customers up here should enjoy this tank for the next 15 to 18 years.”

Jekyll under boil water advisory
originally posted on November 21, 2016
A major water main break Monday morning at Beachview Drive near Villas by the Sea on Jekyll Island prompted a boil water advisory for the entire island.
Shortly after 4 p.m., all repairs of the main had been completed, but the boil water advisory remained in effect until clearance is given by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division.
The break caused water pressure in parts of the system to drop to “dangerously low levels,” according to a release from the Jekyll Island Authority.
“When this occurs, a potential health hazard may exist in these areas of zero pressure from backflow and/or back-siphonage of water of unknown quality into the water distribution system,” the release said.
During the advisory, water should be boiled for at least one minute after reaching a rolling boil. Boiling is suggested before drinking, cooking or preparing baby food.
The advisory will remain until water samples can be tested by the EPD to determine if it is safe for human consumption.
By Monday evening, all fire hydrants were working properly and all hotels and restaurants were aware of the advisory, an afternoon release from the authority said.
Noel Jensen, the authority’s senior director of facilities and public service, attributed the break to the cold weather Monday morning at a meeting of the authority’s board.
“This is typical for the first cold snap,” Jensen said. “Our crews got there early and were excavating the area to get to it. We spoke with (Brunswick-Glynn) Joint Water and Sewer for assistance.”
