Boil Water Advisory Issued for Part of the City of Galena

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has issued a boil water advisory for a portion of the City of Galena public water supply system located in Cherokee County. Customers in the Empire Area from north of Front Street to either side of North Main should boil water for one minute prior to drinking or food preparation or use bottled water instead. Dispose of ice cubes from trays and automatic ice makers. If your tap water appears dirty, flush the water lines by letting the water run until it clears. Water used for bathing does not need to be boiled, but supervision of children is necessary while bathing so that water is not ingested.
