Walnut Bayou Water is issuing a BOIL ADVISORY effective immediately for all customers in the above named areas.
this BOIL ADVISORY is to remain in effect until rescinded by the State Health Department.
It is recommended that all consumers disinfect their water before consuming it (Including Fountain Drinks), making ice, brushing teeth, or using it for food preparation or rinsing of food by the following means: Boil water for one (1) full minute in a clean container.
The one minute starts after the water has been brought to a rolling boil.
(The flat taste can be eliminated by shaking the water in a clean bottle or pouring it from one clean container to another.)
Again, please be sure to disinfect your own water prior to consumption until you have been advised otherwise.
Walnut Bayou Water System will rescind this BOIL ADVISORY upon notification from the State Regional Laboratory that samples collected from our water supply have been found to be safe.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has issued a boil water advisory for the City of Walnut located in Crawford County.
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.
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.
If your tap water appears dirty, flush the water lines by letting the water run until it clears.
KDHE officials issued the advisory because of a line break resulting in a loss of pressure in the system.
Failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.

Woolley estimates that, by the end of this year, the herd will be back to predrought numbers.
Lucas Pope is vineyard manager at Halter Ranch Vineyard in Paso Robles.
Most of the time, the foliage grows back, but stumping interrupts a tree’s fruit production for two to four years.
If normal rainfall continues next season, he said, he may replant 20 to 40 acres of trees.
“The rain did not come as hoped, but the timing of the rain that did fall was perfect,” she said.
Yields last year inched up about 5 percent over the previous year.
“Because we replanted, grafted and pruned last year, we are in a very good position this year,” she said.
