Boil advisory issued for western Shawnee neighborhood

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A boil advisory has been issued for one neighborhood in western Shawnee, Kansas on Monday.

WaterOne says the boil advisory affects 10 residential properties off Kimberly Lane and Midland Drive by Little Mill Creek. Customers outside of these properties are not affected.

The boil advisory was issued in an abundance of caution due to damage to the water main caused by storm water flooding in Little Mill Creek, according to WaterOne.

The boil advisory will be lifted by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment as soon as test results confirm water quality safety.

For those affected, it is recommended that water be boiled for two minutes before consuming until the advisory is lifted.

The advisory only affects water for consumption – all other uses such as cleaning, bathing, or watering plants continues to be safe to use as normal, according to WaterOne.
