The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has lifted a boil water advisory for the water system in Maize.

The advisory was issued because of a loss of pressure in the city’s water system caused by electrical interruption and mechanical failure.   Testing found that there was no evidence of bacteriological contamination, and all conditions that put the system at risk have been resolved.

KDHE also announced that a boil water advisory has been lifted for a portion of Butler County Rural Water District 6.   That affected two areas:

• Area bounded by SE 130th Street and SE 160th Street and Hunter Road to Ohio Street 
• 160th Street between Ohio Street and Cherokee Street 

The advisory was issued because of a loss of pressure in the system, but testing did not find any indication of bacteriological contamination.
