Pretty Prairie boil water advisory ends

PRETTY PRAIRIE, Kan. (KSNW) — The Kansas Department of Health and Environment says the people who use the Pretty Prairie public water supply system can stop boiling water before drinking it. The KDHE says lab tests show no bacterial contamination in the water.

State health officials put the water system under a boil water advisory on Wednesday after a pressure loss. Losing pressure can increase the risk of bacteria getting in the water.

On Friday, the KDHE said the problem had been resolved and rescinded the advisory.
