Boil Water Advisory Rescinded for City of Caney, Montgomery County
TOPEKA – The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has rescinded a boil water advisory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 waterline break 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 notice following testing at a certified laboratory.
Drinking water 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 webpage: https://www.kdhe.ks.gov/468/Disruptionin-Water-Service.
