Boil Water Advisory Rescinded for&nbsp;the City of&nbsp;Tescott,&nbsp;Ottawa&nbsp;County&nbsp;&nbsp;

TOPEKA –&nbsp;The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has rescinded a boil water advisory for&nbsp;the&nbsp;City of&nbsp;Tescott&nbsp;public water supply system&nbsp;located&nbsp;in&nbsp;Ottawa&nbsp;County.&nbsp;The advisory was&nbsp;issued&nbsp;because&nbsp;of&nbsp;a line break resulting in a loss of pressure in the system.  Failure to&nbsp;maintain&nbsp;adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination. &nbsp;

Public water suppliers in Kansas take all measures necessary to notify customers quickly after a system failure or shutdown. Regardless of whether&nbsp;it’s&nbsp;the supplier or KDHE that announces a boil water advisory, KDHE will issue the rescind order following testing at a certified laboratory.&nbsp;

Laboratory testing samples collected from the City of Tescott indicate no evidence of bacteriological contamination and all other conditions that placed the system at risk of contamination are deemed by KDHE officials to be resolved.  &nbsp;&nbsp;
