By the City of Great Bend
GREAT BEND, Kan. — The City of Great Bend is actively working to meet state requirements following the loss of water pressure experienced last night. As mandated by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), city crews are collecting water samples to test for potential bacteriological concerns. These tests take a minimum of 24 hours from the time the samples are received by the lab, and once results are available, the KDHE will determine when the boil advisory can be lifted.
Since the incident, the City has been closely monitoring disinfectant levels in the system. Current readings show consistent and adequate disinfectant levels, both during and after the outage.
Until the advisory is officially rescinded, please continue following KDHE’s recommendations regarding water use.
The city apologizes for the inconvenience and appreciates your patience and understanding as it works to ensure the safety of the community’s water supply.
For questions or concerns, please contact Jason Cauley, Director of Public Works, at 620-793-4150.
