Water boil advisory in Onsted lifted
ONSTED — The water in Onsted was officially deemed safe to drink Tuesday morning, three days after a boil-water advisory was declared as a precaution.
Two water main breaks were found on North Main Street as the ground thawed, the first on March 29, according to information released by the village.
A boil-water advisory was briefly put into effect for approximately 20 residents near the break.
A second water main rupture was reported during the early morning hours of March 31.
Again, village officials said in a statement, a boil-water advisory was put into effect until the water main was repaired, a move due in part to the loss of water pressure.
“Whenever a water system loses pressure for any significant length of time, precautionary measures are recommended,” stated a drinking water warning posted at the Onsted village office.
Tests Tuesday morning came back clear of bacteria and the advisory was lifted at 12:35 p.m.
The water main breaks over the past week are the second of two incidents involving water woes for Onsted.
On Sept. 21, the village experienced a loss in water pressure due to a water main break, also on North Main Street.
As a precaution, interim Department of Public Works superintendent Jack Dillon issued a water boiling advisory in case bacterial contamination infiltrated the network.

Report draft under review as city investigates March 16 boil water advisory
Emporia city officials are continuing their look into the chain of events that led to a boil water advisory for the city and others across Lyon County last month.
An investigation report draft copy is currently under review.
Details of that report will not be released until that review is completed, and there is no guarantee the full report will be divulged once that review process ends.
Public Works Director Frank Abart has said any potential personnel-related changes or recommendations would not be released if those are included.
Residents across Lyon County went under the advisory March 16 after a valve didn’t close correctly the night before.
That led to increased turbidity, or cloudiness, in the water supply.
Turbidity can lead to an increased risk of bacterial contamination, but none was found.
The advisory was officially for the city, but it essentially blanketed Lyon County because all the county’s rural water districts get their water from Emporia.
Because the advisory was issued on a Friday, the city had to contract with a private lab to test a battery of water samples before the Kansas Department of Health and Environment lifted the alert.
Hopewell boil order lifted as plant officials urge customers to conserve water
HOPEWELL, Va. — A boil order was lifted on Easter Sunday for some 9,000 customers in Hopewell and some subdivisions in Prince George County after a pipe burst at a Virginia American Water plant Friday morning.
“We’re not 100-percent,” Suits said.
“It got some of the electrical equipment that distributes power within the plant, that we own, wet and it couldn’t be operated,” Suits said.
Bottled Water Available Bottled water distribution took place at Hopewell High School on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Virginia American Water will provide information as to when the advisory is lifted.
Until further notice, impacted customers should bring tap water to a rolling boil for one minute and allow cooling before using for consumption, drinking, making baby formula, ice cubes, washing vegetables and fruit, and for brushing teeth.
Bring tap water to a rolling boil for at least one minute; allow to cool before using.
Water plant official: ‘This was a very unfortunate event’ During a 4 p.m. Friday press conference, Virginia American Water Director of Operations Lauren Sufleta said there was no immediately timeline available when the plant will be fully functioning.
“We appreciate their patience and understanding,” Sufelta said to residents of Hopewell.
We are bringing them from all over and we are doing our best to get you back into the water service that you’re so used to receiving from us.” City officials reported that the boil water advisory should be lifted on Monday by the time schools are expected to open.
