Boil water advisory lifted for Yates Center
YATES CENTER, Kan. (KSNW) — The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has lifted a boil water advisory for the City of Yates Center in Woodson County. The advisory was originally issued due to a loss of pressure in the city's water system during hydrant flushing. A drop in pressure can lead to a loss of chlorine and increase the risk of bacterial contamination. Storm Track 3 Forecast: Warm and humid Saturday, chance of evening storms After conducting laboratory testing of water samples, KDHE confirmed there is no evidence of bacterial contamination, and all safety concerns have been resolved. Residents with questions can contact the Yates Center water system at 620-625-2102 or KDHE at 785-296-5514. Additional information is available at Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Virginia's capital is under a boil-water advisory after more water treatment operations issues
Officials issued a boil-water advisory Tuesday in parts of Virginia's capital city, leaving many residents without drinkable tap water following an operational issue at the city's water treatment plant for the second time this year. Richmond officials said that the city's water treatment plant experienced an operational hiccup that clogged some of the plant's filters. In the morning, the water system had been restored to full production, but reclogged roughly an hour later. Large swaths of the city, spanning Richmond's west end to downtown by the Capitol, and its northern neighborhoods, were under the advisory. In a news release, officials said all residents were asked to conserve water. Richmond Mayor Danny Avula said in a statement he would examine what caused the clogging and identify any future improvements at the water treatment facility. The boil-water advisory follows a nearly week-long period in January when approximately 230,000 Richmond residents were without drinkable tap water after a power failure caused a malfunction at the water treatment facility. In April, the Virginia Department of Health released a report saying the crisis was avoidable, pointing to city officials' poor emergency planning and faulty maintenance practices.
