Current status: Lifted (as of 29/09/2026, 00:00). Older update notes in the history text may be outdated.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has downgraded a Do Not Drink Order to a Boil Water Advisory for the City of McDonald in Rawlins County. The advisory, effective May 24, 2026, was issued after a bacterial test was positive for coliform bacteria, following initial concerns about possible bacteria and unknown nitrate levels. Residents are advised to boil water for one minute prior to drinking or food preparation until the contamination risk is resolved. Update (Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), 26.09.2026, 03:00): The advisory applies to the City of Frontenac, Crawford County, effective May 14, 2026, due to two waterline breaks causing a loss of pressure and equipment failure preventing minimum chlorine residual.
