Those who live in the communities where the advisory was lifted are urged to flush the water for at least five minutes, replace water filters, and check and clean appliances thoroughly before using.

Lab test clears Ottawa from boil water advisory

TOPEKA — The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) rescinded the boil water advisory for Ottawa at about 10 a.m. Thursday, according to a press release.
KDHE officials issued the advisory for Ottawa Tuesday afternoon because compressed air entered the distribution system during maintenance on the irrigation system at the high school, 1120 S. Ash St., Ottawa, which puts the system at risk for contamination, a press release said.
Failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.
Laboratory testing samples collected from the system indicate no evidence of contamination and all other conditions that placed the system at risk of contamination are deemed by KDHE officials to be resolved, the release said.
Regardless of whether it’s the supplier or KDHE that announces a boil water advisory, KDHE will issue the rescind order following testing at a certified laboratory.
