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.

Water system in Haines Junction, Yukon, back to normal after system failure
Village officials in Haines Junction, Yukon, say the local water system is again functioning normally after some hardware had to be replaced. The town had earlier asked residents to limit water use until the problem with the community's water system was resolved. Public works manager Jerry Tracey said the system's critical control network failed Tuesday night. "Our system is basically operated by a computerized system that connects all the parts and pieces of our water system as far as well production, treatment, and distribution," Tracey said. "Within this system there is a switch that basically ties all those network cables together. And that switch has gone down." Tracey said the town's water distribution system was still working, and people were still able to use water but that there was no way to produce enough water to refill the town's reservoir. He said the town was "in a rush to get this resolved." By late Wednesday afternoon the town lifted its water conservation advisory, saying the faulty hardware had been replaced and the water system was "back to normal operations."
