KDHE: Boil Order Rescinded

Press Release


TOPEKA – The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has rescinded a boil water advisory for the City of Baldwin City public water supply located in Douglas CountyThe advisory was issued because of a loss of pressure. Failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.
Public water suppliers in Kansas take all measures necessary to notify customers quickly after a system failure or shutdown. 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.

Laboratory testing samples collected from the City of Baldwin City 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.
