LAHARPE — A citywide boil order, in effect since Aug. 3, will continue at least until the latter portion of this week.
LaHarpe City Clerk Michelle Altis said the city received word from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment Thursday that one of four water samples submitted to KDHE still registered too high with certain contaminants. (The other three samples came back clean.)
The boil order has been in place since a water main leak Aug. 3 caused an outage throughout the city. Service was restored late that afternoon, but the boil order has been in effect since then.
Crews are prepared to submit their latest samples Tuesday, with KDHE’s next ruling due around Thursday, Altis said.
