BOIL ORDER RESCINDED

Boil Water Advisory Rescinded for City of Caney, Montgomery County
TOPEKA – The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has rescinded a boil water advisory
for the City of Caney public water supply system located in Montgomery County. The advisory was issued
because of a power outage resulting in a loss of pressure in the distribution system. 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 Caney 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.
For consumer questions, please contact the water system at: 620-879-2772 or you may call KDHE at
785-296-5514. For consumer information please visit our PWS Consumer Information webpage.
