ROSSVILLE, Kan. (KSNT) - People in Rossville are being asked to boil their water after a loss of pressure in the system. 

A boil water advisory was issued Wednesday morning by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment for Rossville located in western Shawnee County. 

The advisory will remian in effect until the conditions that placed the system at risk of bacterial contamination are resolved. 

KDHE officials issued the advisory because of a loss of pressure. KDHE said failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination. 

Kaw Valley USD 321 tells KSNT News they are dismissing Rossville schools at 12:15 p.m. due to no water.

On Thursday afternoon, the Kansas Dept. of Health and Environment rescinded the boil order covering the City of Rossville. The agency says laboratory testing found no evidence of contamination.
