  • You may experience air in the lines, cloudy water, or temporary discoloration. 
  •  Run cold water for several minutes to help clear the lines.

  • The City follows Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) guidelines to assess any potential impacts on water quality.
  • If KDHE guidelines determine there is a water quality concern, we will notify customers immediately.
  • If you have concerns about water quality, consider using boiled or bottled water until the system stabilizes.
