Boil Water Advisory Hits Ellis County | Wichita News

A boil water advisory is now in effect for parts of Ellis County due to a broken water main that dropped pressure, risking bacterial contamination. Residents must boil all water for at least one minute before drinking or cooking, or use bottled water. Avoid using ice from automatic ice makers, and run cloudy water until clear. Disinfect dishes with bleach, and be cautious with bathing—especially for kids and those with open wounds. The water system is working to fix the issue; for questions, contact the Rural Water District 1 or the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
