Boil Water Advisory Lifted in Cass County, Missouri

0:00Public water supply district number six in Cass County, Missouri put out a boilwater advisory on Saturday after a waterline break near BB Highway and 175th Street. This precautionary move affects about 250 customers in the area. The advisory kicked in because the break could have let bacteria into the lines, even though there's no confirmed contamination yet. Officials say it's just a smart safety step while they run tests to make sure everything's clean. Folks in the impacted zones need to boil their tap water for at least three minutes before drinking it, cooking, or brushing teeth. Skip eyes may from untreated water too, but bathing in laundry are fine with regular tap water. Repairs on the line are already wrapped up and water service is coming back online as the towers refill. Testing is underway to lift the advisory soon. Keep an eye on updates from the district and stay safe out there while they wrap this up. I'm Cory with the story and you've been listening to Kansas News today. AI-powered
