The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has rescinded a boil water advisory for the Cheney State Park Marina public water supply system in Reno County.

The advisory had been issued after a loss of pressure in the system, which can increase the risk of bacterial contamination by reducing chlorine levels. KDHE officials say such advisories are precautionary measures to protect public health.

Following the advisory, water samples from the Cheney State Park Marina were tested at a certified laboratory. The results showed no evidence of bacterial contamination, and officials determined that all conditions that placed the system at risk have been resolved.

Public water suppliers in Kansas are required to alert customers quickly in the event of a system failure or shutdown. KDHE issues both the advisories and the rescind notices once laboratory testing confirms the water is safe.
