TOPEKA, Kan. — The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has rescinded a boil water advisory for the St. Joseph Catholic School in the small community of St. Joseph in far southeast Reno County.

The advisory was issued because the system at the school could not maintain the minimum required chlorine residual. Failure to maintain required chlorine residual levels could have put the school at risk for bacterial contamination. The school was put under the advisory last Thursday by the state.

Laboratory testing samples collected indicate no evidence of contamination and all other conditions that placed the system at risk of contamination have been resolved according to the KDHE.
