Butler County boil water advisories lifted

Butler County is no longer under a boil water advisory, with the state department of health rescinding an advisory for Rural Water District 4 on Thursday.

An advisory for another part of the county was rescinded earlier this week.

Residents had been told to boil drinking water after a line break caused a loss of pressure. Failure to maintain adequate pressure could result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination, according to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.

Samples collected from both parts of the county had no evidence of contamination.
