WATER!
There is a water leak in the north end of town and the water will be off for awhile. I will update when I know more.
We will be under a boil advisory when the water is back up and going.
WATER UPDATE!
The water leak has been repaired and pressure is building up in the system. You probably will have air in your lines.
UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE:
Boil water for one minute prior to drinking or food prep or use bottled water.
Do not use ice from a household auto ice maker.
If your tap water appears dirty, flush lines by letting water run until it clears.
Disinfect dishes and other food contact surfaces by immersion for at least one minute in clean tap water that contains one teaspoon of unscented 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.
Boil Water Advisory Issued for the City of New Strawn, Coffey County
