Boil Water Advisory Issued for Anderson Co. RWD #5 Customers

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has issued a boil water advisory for customers of Anderson County Rural Water District (RWD) #5, including the cities of Kincaid, Lone Elm and Bush City located in Anderson County, as well as the city of Mildred in northern Allen County.

This advisory also affects the rural area bordered by Mildred to the south, Lone Elm to the west, and Bush City to the north. Furthermore, the advisory includes all RWD #5 customers located to the east of this area.

A major line break has drained the tower and distribution system, resulting in a loss of pressure and no water service in many areas. Whenever such a loss of pressure occurs, it is possible for contaminants to enter the system.

Also, chlorine residuals may drop to levels that are inadequate to protect against bacterial contamination.

Once water service is restored, 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.

· If your tap water appears dirty, flush the water lines by letting the
water run until it clears.

The advisory will remain in effect until testing of water samples indicates no evidence of contamination and all other conditions which place the systems at risk of contamination are deemed by KDHE officials to be resolved. The city and/or KDHE will notify media when the boil water advisory has been rescinded.

Mohawk boil-water advisory lifted, classes may resume Friday

NORTH BEAVER TWP. — Mohawk Area School District students will likely return to classes Friday after contamination to the well that supplies water to the high school is repaired.

The district announced Tuesday on its website that heavy rains and flash flooding had caused a problem with a well that supplies water to Mohawk High School. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection confirmed Thursday that testing showed the presence of E. coli bacteria in the high school’s water supply.

The state Department of Environmental Protection declared the high school’s drinking water to be safe and lifted a boil water advisory Thursday afternoon, clearing students to return to school Friday.

DEP officials removed the advisory after testing on two consecutive days found the water to be free of bacteria.

In a release Wednesday, Mohawk officials announced that classes were canceled Thursday, but said work crews have connected the high school’s water system to the elementary school’s well, which has passed all testing. The district is submitting samples for testing and evaluation by the DEP. Administrators said school would probably resume Friday, after three days without classes.

The district’s closure Tuesday and Wednesday will be teacher in-service days, and therefore will not need to be made up later in the school year. Students were off Monday for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. However, Mohawk will have class on Feb. 20, originally scheduled as a day off, to make up for Thursday’s cancellation.

The cancellations Thursday affected activities and sporting events. The Mohawk’s girls basketball game against Ellwood City, scheduled for Thursday night at Mohawk, was moved to Geneva College.
