Boil Advisory September 2026
September 19, 2026
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has rescinded a boil water advisory for the City of Rose Hill public water supply system located in Butler County. The advisory was issued because of a loss of pressure in the distribution system of the water system that supplies water to this system.
Public water suppliers in Kansas take all measures necessary to notify customers quickly after a system failure or shutdown. Regardless of whether it’s the supplier or KDHE that announces a boil water advisory, KDHE will issue the rescind notice following testing at a certified laboratory.
Laboratory testing of drinking water samples collected from the City of Rose Hill indicates no evidence of bacteriological contamination and all other conditions that placed the system at risk of contamination are deemed by KDHE officials to be resolved.
For consumer questions, please contact the City of Rose Hill water system at: 316-776-2712 or you may call KDHE at 785-296-5514.

The boil advisory is still in effect and is projected to continue at least until Saturday. Wichita is currently testing water samples and results should be available late this evening. Based on the results, the City of Rose Hill will move forward accordingly. Please reference KDHE.KS.GOV for more information.

Due to the loss of pressure in the City of Wichita, residents who utilize Rose Hill water are under a boil advisory. Customers should observe the following precautions until further notice:
• Boil water for one minute prior to drinking or food preparation or use bottled water.
• Dispose of ice cubes and do not use ice from a household automatic icemaker.
• Disinfect dishes and other food contact surfaces by immersion for at least one minute in clean tap water that contains one teaspoon of unscented household bleach per gallon of water.
Water used for bathing does not generally need to be boiled. Supervision of children is necessary while bathing so that water is not ingested. Persons with cuts or severe rashes may wish to consult their physicians.
Regardless of whether the public water supplier or Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) announced a boil water advisory, only KDHE can issue the rescind order following testing at a certified laboratory. Please reference Consumer Information Regarding a Disruption in Water Service | KDHE, KS for basic boil water advisory information,
We will post more information as soon as it becomes available.
