KANSAS CITY, Mo.
— KC Water has issued a precautionary boil advisory for part of south Kansas City.
The area is bound by Hangar Road on the north, Markey Road on the south, Bales Road on the west and Nellis Drive on the east.
The precautionary advisory comes after some customers experienced low pressure due to a water main break.
Tap water should be boiled vigorously for three minutes before using it to drink, cook, or prepare food.
Let the water cool sufficiently before drinking.
Ice made with un-boiled tap water should not be used for drinking purposes.
The tap water is safe for other purposes such as bathing; however, small children should be discouraged from swallowing bath water.
Water boiled for drinking and cooking purposes may be used for brushing teeth.
KC Water said it will notify customers when the water is safe after it has been tested.
